As part of the Ministry of Culture’s plan to restore castles and archaeological sites, Minister of Culture Mohammad Yassin al-Saleh visited “Krak des Chevaliers” in the Homs countryside. He was accompanied by the Director of the Directorates of Culture in the governorates, Anas Daghim, and the Director of Homs Culture, Mahmoud Jarmashli.
The Minister was briefed on the current condition of the castle and the restoration and protection plans, as part of a strategy to enhance the preservation of cultural and tourist heritage.
The “Krak des Chevaliers” has been a UNESCO World Heritage Site since 2006. In 2013, it was added to the List of Sites in Danger due to neglect, damage caused by bombing by the former regime during the war, and natural factors, making its preservation an urgent necessity.
