EDITORS COMMENTS
This aerial photograph captures the majestic Qal at Salah-ed-Din, also known as the Citadel of Salah Ed-Din, in Lattakia, Syria. Originally built during the Byzantine era, this fortress became an integral part of the Crusader Principality of Antioch in the early 12th century. Renamed Saone (Arabic Sahyun), it underwent extensive fortification to protect its strategic position. The castle's rich history is evident from its imposing structure and intricate architectural details that have withstood centuries of turmoil. In 1188, after a relentless three-day siege, Saladin emerged victorious and claimed this formidable stronghold for his own. Photographed by Aerofilms Ltd. , although the exact date remains uncertain but likely in the 1950s, this image showcases both the grandeur and vulnerability of this historic site. The aerial perspective allows us to appreciate its commanding presence within its surroundings while highlighting its significance as a UNESCO World Heritage Site since 2006. As we gaze upon this print from Historic England Archive, we are transported back in time to an era where knights once roamed these walls and battles raged below. It serves as a poignant reminder of our shared human heritage and encourages us to preserve such treasures for future generations.
