Nimrod Fortress

Nimrod Fortress, also known as Qal'at al-Subeiba, Qal'at Namrud is a medieval Muslim castle situated on the southern slopes of Mount Hermon. It overlooks the Golan Heights and it was built around 1229 by Al-Aziz Uthman, nephew of Saladin and younger son of Al-Adil I, to preempt an attack on Damascus by the armies of the Sixth Crusade.
