Belvoir Fortress
Kohav Ha Yarden, Gesher, Tiberia, Israel
Description:
What is needed for the construction to protect the attacks of militant enemies? The correct geographical location, having a strategic point of protection, the right architecture and strong walls. And, of course, the courage of warriors. All this is present in this historic place.
After all, even the ruins of the fortress that have survived to this day, being repeatedly destroyed, still amaze with their heroism. And even after a while, its base remained intact. Archaeologists have restored the diagrams of walls, rooms, secret passages, loopholes, reservoirs.
The inner center of the buildings of the Belvoir Fortress is a square building. And from it concentric lines diverge labyrinths of symmetrically located walls. Majestic, large-scale and thoughtful!
The geographical position of the Belvoir Fortress is on the Naftali plateau at an altitude of 500 meters above the Jordan River. You can get here by bus from Tiberias towards Beit Shean, and then by taxi.
