History
[ edit ]
The castle which was known as Bikisrail ,[1] was controlled by Byzantine doux of Antioch , Niketas of Mistheia , in 1032. It was later captured by Crusaders led by Tancred in 1111.[3] The castle was later mentioned as being a stronghold in the hands of Nizari Ismaili in 1131, who surrendered it to Saladin in 1188.
Structure
[ edit ]
The castle is totally damaged and not much remained from it, as its ruins are dated back to the 12th century. It is reached by car road through Baniyas -Jableh road from west. External walls are well preserved, which contain the whole massive of the castle. The castle is situated on a high mountain, accessible only from the south through a narrow piece of land.
