The Crusader castle — Byblos archaeological site
Viewing the site as a whole
Built in the 12th century, the Crusader castle dominates the entire archaeological site of Byblos.
From its terrace, the reading of the place changes scale: the different zones, circulation paths, and structures appear in continuity.
The castle itself is built from reused materials taken from older constructions. Ancient columns, blocks, and fragments are integrated into its walls.
This superposition illustrates a constant logic in Byblos: each period relies on the previous one without fully erasing its traces.
The viewpoint offered here makes it possible to understand that accumulation by revealing a site built through successive layers.
