My kids really enjoyed the journey to the castle. The kids really liked it and it was like a piece of puzzle that the kids really loved when entering and exiting from different doors down stairs and upstairs. The view at the top of it is just spectacular. As a family I would absolutely recommend visiting the archeological site and enjoy the history

Splendid site to visit. In the 12th century, the Crusaders constructed the castle with the indigenous limestone and the remains of Roman structures resulting in Roman, Persian, Crusader and Phoenician influences. Beautiful panoramic view of surrounding area and Byblos city from the top of the castle. Took about 1.5 hours to walk the site.

Interesting story about this place. It holds a lot of memories and worth the time. If you love or have an interest in History and archeology, you should tour Lebanon.

Amazing! The view and atmosphere is great... Old history and the view is incredible. The most beautiful place in Lebanon is Byblos. I love Lebanon ❤️ For more new places follow me.

Nice walk, and the view is amazing. There are flowers everywhere. It's just so full of history and color. Wish there were a bit more explanations on the way.

7000 years of history. Amazing ruins. Cheap entry. More pricey for foreigners. Very safe. Well kept. Good location

Byblos is the oldest continuously inhabited city in the world. Approximately 45 km from Beirut. Beautiful city! unmissable. Worth a visit and return if you are in Beirut. Taxi around 15 euros. (Around 2/3 hours to visit the whole city).

Pay a small fee to enter the archaeological site of Byblos. First, check the Castle built by the crusaders in the 12th century. From the top, you'll see a breathtaking view of Byblos and the Mediterranean sea! Then, walk in the surrounding field where you'll find Phoenicians, Egyptian and Roman ruins! Finally, discover Byblos most iconic and photographed house!

Very beautiful and superb archaeological site! Highly recommended to visit

Breathtaking views from the castle. To be able to see something so old still stand and be able to experience it, is just amazing! Definitely recommend a visit if you're in Lebanon. Just get there early so you can take your time going to all the levels.

Beautiful scenery and beautiful and clean beach!! It should be a wonder of the world ❤️🌍

The castle is a marvellous piece of history that is sitting in the heart of Byblos. Parking in a nearby parking lot for a small fee and a short walk and you are at the entrance, 3 types of tickets for Lebanese residents, non residents and foreigners. Inside the castle and the grounds around it that you can explore with a good walk exploring many parts of it. Few parts are locked up and you cannot access them but the rest is enough to go around exploring it’s beauty. The grounds require continuous improvement and development of such a historic and touristic attraction, which is lacking currently or falling behind.

Unbelievable how beautiful this place is. The history is mind blowing, the views of the sea is breathtaking as well. My ancestors make me proud :)

The castle was built by the Crusaders in the 12th century from indigenous limestone and the remains of Roman structures. It's an amazing piece of history, and if you plan to visit make sure you ask of the guide Yazid he knows the history very well.

The Citadel was build in the crusaders after they invaded the city in 1104, but there are other ruins that dates back centuries before BC. The view is breathtaking especially the sea.

The entire grounds of Byblos are stupendous. A must see for anybody even remotely interested in history. The Crusader fortifications are okay but it’s the grounds around it that are really amazing. Check out the royal tomb shafts as well. And see the museum in Beirut that has the finds from the tombs. Gold jewellery etc

Living history. You can find Phoenician, Persian, Roman, Crusader ruins in the same place.

very beautiful & unforgettable place! would love to visit it again & live there for a while .. if you're seeking someplace to refresh yourself, this the one.

The old byblos citadel is located adjacent to byblos old souq, facing the Mediterranean coast... a huge area of several historical buildings and ruins from several ages and eras... Inside the citadel itself, there is a small museum presenting the history of the place and some historical artifacts from the location and others lebanese locations..

An impressive site where layers of history tell about past occupants and show the traces of 17 civilisation. A must visit, better with a guide that you can find at entrance door. All languages available.

An historic place but the facilities are meagre, not enough parking place,mismanaged traffic on narrow roads and great emphasis on souvenir selling rather than for public comfort and convenience.

Nice touristic destination situated in Jbeil One of the 1st Historical places in Lebanon. A Must visit.

A wonderful castle and adjoining ruins. You can either get a guide or explore on your own with plenty of information stands in English. There is also a nice souvenir shop.

The Byblos Citadel is truly a marvel of ancient architecture and a must-see for anyone visiting the historic town of Byblos in Lebanon. The citadel's imposing walls and towers stand as a testament to the ingenuity and skill of the people who built it thousands of years ago. As you explore the citadel, you'll be transported back in time and immersed in the rich history of the area. The view from the top of the citadel is breathtaking and provides a stunning panorama of the surrounding landscape. The site is well-preserved and the restoration work that has been done is both impressive and respectful of the site's historical significance. Overall, the Byblos Citadel is a wonderful example of the ancient world's architectural genius and a must-visit destination for anyone interested in history, culture, and breathtaking views.

I really enjoyed our visit here. We pretty much had the whole place to ourselves. I recommend visiting if you love historical landmarks. There is a small amphitheatre and a few standing columns. The view from the castle is beautiful but would say be careful climbing up and down the stairs the health and safety needs some touch ups.

Well, the main point, is that I do not feel the citadel to be marvelous in what it has to present. For a little bit of history, the castle was built in 12th century by the crusaders.

It was a good trip with nice view. It could have been better if we visited it before sunset because of the hot weather.

So much history! Definately recommend paying a guide to talk you through the history of the place. A must visit!

Byblos is one of the beautiful tourist destination in Lebanon. It is located approx. 40km far from Beirut city center, you required 35 to 40 minutes drive to reached Byblos. Byblos citadel is one of among those attractions that make your journey memorable. The entrance fee to the Citadel is 8000 Lebanese Lira. The views from the Citadel is unforgettable.

🔵The city of Byblos🔵 ⚫The coastal town of Byblos is located north of Beirut, Lebanon. ⚫Because Byblos was the chief harbour for the export of cedar and other valuable wood to Egypt, it soon became a great trading centre. ⚫The ruins today consist of the Crusader fortifications and gate; a Roman colonnade and small theatre; Phoenician ramparts, three major temples, Medieval and Ottoman town, Byzantine churches, and a necropolis; and remains of Neolithic dwellings. ⚫It was continuously inhabited since Neolithic times, Byblos bears outstanding witness to the beginnings of the Phoenician civilization. ⚫Byblos is also directly associated with the history and diffusion of the Phoenician alphabet. ⚫Byblos was designated a UNESCO World Heritage site in 1984. Como nos explican que esta ciudad es construida por los romanos? teniendo increíbles piezas megalíticas traídas de Asuan al Sur de Egipto mas de 1500km cortadas a la perfección con pesos mayores a 50 toneladas.

Byblos you s located only 30 km on the way from Beirut to Tripoli and this is must see attraction in Lebanon

Worth paying for the tour guide. Beautiful place
