Aqua Bella

Also known as Kh. 'Iqbala, Ein Hemed, 'En Hemed

A beautifully preserved Crusader courtyard building in a spring-fed glade west of Jerusalem, now the heart of Ein Hemed National Park. It was most likely built as a Hospitaller estate and infirmary in the twelfth century, and its thick walls, arrow-slits, and vaulted halls made it easy to defend even though its primary function was agricultural. It is one of the best-surviving examples of a Crusader 'maison forte' (fortified manor) in the region.
