Nimrod Fortress

Nimrod Fortress is the largest and best preserved castle in Israel (located on a high ridge in the foothills of Mt. Hermon). Unfortunately, we know little about the castle due to the lack of a full scale excavation across the site and a confusion in the literature between this castle and the nearby castle at Banias. Nevertheless, it is a wonderful site to visit and explore its many towers and keep.
