Fortress of Husn

Castles

‏Amid the silent hills of the Golan, the fortress of Husn known as “Hippos” or “Sussita” lies hidden, standing tall despite the stillness of its stones and the passing of ages. This fortress, designed in the shape of a horse, holds within its stones the layered story of civilizations that once flourished there, from the Nabataeans to the Romans and Byzantines.
‏Its temples and inscriptions speak of a rich history, narrating tales of power and architectural splendor. The site remains a living testament to the deep Syrian roots embedded in the land of the Golan
