The primitive ramparts — Byblos archaeological site
Defining and protecting the city
The primitive ramparts of Byblos are among the oldest structures on the site, dating back to the 3rd millennium BC.
They mark an important stage in the organization of the city by defining a protected and delimited space.
Their course reveals an intention to structure the territory, both to control access and to assert a lasting presence.
From this point, the eye reaches toward later periods, notably the Crusader castle visible in the distance, illustrating the site’s continuous evolution.
Between these two reference points, several millennia of history coexist within the same landscape.
