Assif Am-David (Israel):
Israel offers several sites with ruins of crusaders' fortresses (about a dozen of them including Aqua Bella, Chateau Pelerin, Yehiam). I've been to Montfort, Belvoir and Apolonia and there isn't too much left of any of them to be honest. Monfort makes a nice trip but not justifying an inscription I think. Belvoir still clearly shows its deeply rooted square fortifications resembling later constructions by Vauban. It also offers its visitors one of the most beautiful landskapes Israel has to offer if you happen to visit Israel in the right season. Date posted: May 2008
