The Crac des Chevaliers (Castle of the Knights) is located near Homs, a city in western Syria. The castle was the easternmost of five Crusader fortifications guarding the only major pass between Antakya in Turkey and Beirut in the Lebanon.
Homs has played a central role in the ongoing Syrian civil war against the Baathist government and has suffered greatly from the conflict.
