Belmont Castle (Suba / Tzova)

Also known as Belmont, Zova

Belmont Castle was a Hospitaller fortress built in the 1160s on a hill west of Jerusalem, dominating the approach roads from the coastal plain. It had a rectangular inner ward, a polygonal outer ward, stables, a wine-press, cisterns and a vaulted passage down to its spring. Lost to Saladin after Hattin and never recovered by the Franks, its extensive ruins are today in a forested area above Kibbutz Tzuba.
