The castle is provided with a stone bridge on which tickets are issued. Located on an island on the edge of the port, the sea castle or Qalat al-bahr was quickly built from 1227 to 1228 by the crusaders. This fortress was built using reuse materials from the surrounding ruins. Thus, columns were inserted into the walls of the castle to consolidate their foundations. Only the right tower (tower) and the issuing of the second bear the original building. The fortress was, in fact, partly rebuilt by the Arabs. Inside the castle is a small mosque built in the ruins of the north-east cross tower. If one refers to the engravings of the early 1840 th century, the castle had to be much more imposing, but it was greatly damaged in by the bombing of the Austro-British fleet. The visit is quick and allows, from the top of the castle, to discover a beautiful panorama of the city and Saida Bay.

Une ruine à rapidement visiter
On ne peut pas rater le château quand on est en centre-ville. Cependant, aucune explication ou guide. J'ai demandé un dépliant, on m'a indiqué qu'il n'y en avait plu (s'il y en avait eu un jour...). Le château est vraiment en ruines, et les efforts de restauration sont très minimes. La proximité avec le quai de déchargement cargo laisse perplexe. La vue sur Saida est cependant assez joli. Le falafel en face est à faire !

Le chateau de la mer domine la ville et on ne peut pas le raté de l'extérieur. Sa visite n'a cependant que très peu d'intérêt. Beaucoup de ruines et aucunes explications ou guide pour nous donner de plus amples informations.

(très) Petit château, mais il coûte pas cher du tout donc pourquoi se priver.
Surtout si vous êtes à Saida, en gros vous avez le souk (avec son palais Debbané notamment) à faire, et le château.
En face vous trouverez le meilleur endroit en ville pour manger un chawarma, et un des meilleurs du pays (un Libanais lui-même me l'avait recommandé, et j'ai testé et approuvé ;)
