Sidon Sea Castle

Sidon, South Lebanon, Lebanon

Sidon Sea Castle, also known as the Sea Castle of Sidon, is a historic fortress located on a small island connected to the coastal city of Sidon in South Lebanon.

Built by the Crusaders in the 13th century, it served as a defensive stronghold protecting the city's important Mediterranean port. Over the centuries, the castle experienced damage from conflicts and natural events, but parts of its walls, towers, and stone structures have been restored. Its architecture reflects a blend of Crusader military design and later modifications made during different periods of Lebanese history.
