Church of St. Mary (Kerak Castle)

Consecrated in 1118 inside the courts of Kerak Castle, this is the largest surviving Crusader church in modern Jordan. Its architecture shows a striking collaboration between Latin architects and local Arab builders: Frankish ribbed vaults and pointed arches sit over locally-dressed ashlar walls, producing a distinctive hybrid of Occitan and Moabite masonry.
