EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases the magnificent Montreal Crusader castle, nestled in the enchanting landscape of Shoubak, Jordan. Built in 1115 by Baldwin I of Jerusalem, this architectural marvel stood as a symbol of Christian power during the Crusades. However, its history is tainted with tales of conflict and desperation. Once under the control of Raynald of Chatillon, the castle became a strategic base for attacking passing caravans. The siege that followed lasted nearly two years until May 1189 when Saladin's army finally conquered it. It is said that during this prolonged struggle for survival, defenders resorted to unimaginable measures such as selling their wives and children for food. The ruins we see today bear witness to both the grandeur and tragedy that unfolded within these walls centuries ago. The medieval stronghold stands atop a hill, commanding breathtaking views over its surroundings. Its weathered walls tell stories of defense and fortification against relentless enemies. As we gaze upon this image captured by Vivienne Sharp, we are transported back in time to an era where religion played a pivotal role in shaping destinies. This photograph serves as a poignant reminder of our shared human history and the enduring legacy left behind by those who once called this majestic fortress home.
