EDITORS COMMENTS
This aerial photograph showcases the majestic Krak des Chevaliers, also known as Crac des Chevaliers or Hosn al Akrad, in Syria. The fortress, depicted here in stunning detail, holds a rich history that dates back to 1142 when it was entrusted to the Knights Hospitallers. Serving as their primary military stronghold for over a century, this formidable structure played a pivotal role during medieval times. The image captures the grandeur of Krak des Chevaliers from above, revealing its strategic location and impressive architectural design. Its imposing walls and towers stand tall against the backdrop of the Syrian landscape, evoking a sense of awe and admiration for those who gaze upon it. Despite its historical significance and enduring beauty, this iconic fortress faced adversity throughout its existence. In 1271, Mamluk Sultan Baibars successfully seized control of Krak des Chevaliers after an intense battle. Nevertheless, its legacy lives on as one of UNESCO's World Heritage Sites since 2006. Preserved by Historic England Archive and photographed by Aerofilms Ltd (date uncertain but likely from the 1950s), this remarkable print allows us to appreciate both the craftsmanship of medieval architecture and the cultural importance held within these ancient walls. It serves as a testament to human ingenuity and resilience throughout history while reminding us of our duty to protect such invaluable heritage sites for future generations to cherish.
