The Citadel


Can you see it through the haze? Most of the time we can see the citadel from our balcony. However, photos don't really capture it well enough for my satisfaction. I may be a little off but, I think it was built circa 1100 by Saladin (spelled wrong?). He was able to band together factions in the area to hold off against the invading crusaders. Soon enough I will go for a tour and get some better info. The best way to see it is to blow it up as your desktop. Then look in the middle. You will see a hill with a rounded object and two spires. That is the Citadel. It looks a lot cooler in real life! Condsidering its about a fifteen minute drive from here, I guess we can see it pretty well.
