This almost circular fortress is surrounded by a deep moat. Its entire wall is preserved in very good condition. This wall was built by the Hamdanidas and rebuilt by the Mamluks after the destruction of the 13th century by the Mongols. The two powerful towers that defend the only bridge over the moat are the work of the Ayubid Sultan al-Malik az-Zaher al-Ghazi.
