Sidon Sea Castle

1228 · 13th century

The Sidon Sea Castle is a crusader fortress built in 1228 on a small island off the harbour of Sidon in Lebanon, linked to the shore by a causeway. Erected during the crusade of Frederick II, it was held by the lords of Sidon and later by the Templars, and was dismantled by the Mamluks after 1291 before being partly restored in later centuries.
