Qal'at Jiddin (Yehi'am Fortress)

Yehi'am Fortress in western Galilee grew from a small Crusader castle into a larger Ottoman stronghold, and was reused again by the defenders of Kibbutz Yehi'am during the 1948 war. The surviving twelfth-century inner ward walls are now the centrepiece of an Israeli national park.
