Lebanon - inside historic Tripoli

Following my historic path during master studies, I visited Lebanon.

1.-2. Citadel of Raymond de Saint-Gilles: Originally built during the Crusader period, the fortress was later expanded by the Mamluks and Ottomans, layers of history stacked above one of the oldest cities in the Levant.

1. Jabal Mohsen: View toward Jabal Mohsen. One of Lebanon’s most troubled neighborhoods during the years of conflict in Tripoli.

2. The old souks of Tripoli

3. Al-Mansouri Mosque: One of the most important landmarks in Tripoli, built by the Mamluks in the 13th century after the fall of the Crusader city.
