Hebron — Castle of St Abraham

Beneath the great Herodian enclosure of the Cave of the Patriarchs, the Crusaders built a fortified annex to serve as the castle of the lords of Hebron, the 'Castle of St Abraham'. The medieval town was one of the southernmost outposts of the kingdom. The Crusader additions are now embedded in the much longer architectural history of the Haram el-Khalil.
