Chastel Blanc (Arabic: برج صافيتا, Burj Safita or Safita Tower) is a medieval structure in Safita, western Syria. It was built by the Knights Templar during the Crusades upon prior fortifications. Located on the middle hill of Safita's three hills, it offers a commanding view of the surrounding countryside, and was a major part of the network of Crusader fortifications in the area. From the roof, a view ranging see from the Mediterranean Sea to the snow-covered mountains of Lebanon, and County of Tripoli, is offered. From Chastel Blanc it would have been possible to see the Templar strongholds at Tartus and Ruad Island to the northwest, Chastel Rouge on the coastline to the southwest, Akkar to the south, and Krak des Chevaliers (the headquarters of the Syrian Knights Hospitallers) to the s

  • El castell Blanc —en àrab برج صافيتا, Burj Ṣāfītā, literalment 'Torre de Safita' és un castell croat situat a Safita, una ciutat siriana entre Tartus i Trípoli, a les muntanyes interiors. Va ser construït pels templers a sobre d'unes fortificacions preexistents. Aquesta torre no era l'única fortificació de la ciutat de Safita, però és l'única que ha sobreviscut al període de les croades, i fins i tot va resistir el terratrèmol de 1202. Situat al turó més alt dels tres de Safita, la fortalesa ofereix una visió extraordinària sobre els camps que l'envolten. (ca)

  • Le Chastel Blanc (baptisé la tour blanche par les habitants de la région) se situe en Syrie entre Tortose et Tripoli dans les montagnes intérieures.Il a été construit par les Templiers sur des fortifications déjà existantes. Cette tour n’était pas l'unique fortification de la ville syrienne de Safita, mais c’est la seule à avoir résisté durant toute la période - y compris au tremblement de terre de 1202. La ville de Safita est bâtie sur trois collines. La tour a été construite sur la colline qui offre la meilleure vue sur la campagne environnante et particulièrement sur les autres citadelles de la région. (fr)
  • Chastel Blanc, o Safita, è un castello templare situato nell'omonima città in Siria. È menzionato per la prima volta in una fonte araba nel 1112 e si pensa sia entrato nelle mani dell'Ordine Templare verso il 1170. Il sultano Baybars tentò di conquistarlo, e per sventare il pericolo furono liberati 300 prigionieri musulmani. Ma alla morte di Saint Luis, il mamelucco tornò ad attaccarlo, conquistandolo nel 1271.

  • Chastel Blanc (Arabisch: برج صافيتا, Burj Safita) is een burcht in Safita (Syrië). Tijdens de eerste kruistochten maakte de regio deel uit van het gebied van de graaf van Tripoli. Het kasteel werd vermoedelijk in het begin van de twaalfde eeuw gebouwd ter verdediging van Tartous. De vesting werd ingenomen en verwoest door Nur ad-Din in 1167. In 1188 werd ze bezet door de Tempeliers en herbouwd; ze werd veroverd en vernietigd door Baibars in 1271. De donjon is het enige resterende deel van de vesting. Deze donjon, in Romaanse stijl is thans nog altijd in gebruik en wel als oosters-orthodoxe kerk, gewijd aan Sint Michaël. Op het dak heeft men een prachtig uitzicht over de omgeving. De Krak des Chevaliers - in vogelvlucht 15 km verwijderd - is bij helder weer zichtbaar. Via vuursignalen konde (nl)
