Sidon Sea Castle

Sidón Address

3 reviews of Sidon Sea Castle

Sidon is the 3rd largest city in Lebanon. It lies on the Mediterranean coast, about 40 miles north of Tyre and 50 south of the capital. Sidon was an important city of Phoenicia, founded in the same era as Tyre. "The Sea Castle" was built by the Crusaders in the 13th century on an island just above sea level. The strait that separated the island rock was quickly filled as they built 2 ports, 1 facing south, called '' the Egyptian port'' and another towards the north, which is still being used to this very day.
