Nimrod's Fortress is located in the foothills of Mt. Hermon. This 13th Century Crusader fortress affords a spectacular view of the northern Galilee. Its many archways and sunken rooms provide the avid photographer with plenty of interesting shots.
This arch from Nimrod is in the courtyard to which the former doorway leads. Massive rocks form this wonderful niche.
This arched doorway leads through to the front coming out high on the courtyard in the former photo.
Light plays on the stairs, lending a feeling of mystery and hope. A cool, underground room is exited by means of this marvelous, textured passageway leading up to the light, a fitting end to our brief tour of Nimrod.
The following three photos are in Gamla on the Golan. The rock formations are dolmens which are thought to be prehistoric burial monuments from the stone age.
