Sidon Sea Castle in Sidon, Lebanon is a historic fortress that dates back to the early 13th century. Built by the Crusaders, it was constructed as a part of their defensive network along the Mediterranean coast. The castle is situated on a small island connected to the mainland by a narrow causeway, providing a strategic vantage point over the harbor and sea. Over the centuries, it has seen numerous battles and occupations, including periods of Mamluk and Ottoman control.
