Bridge to the Castle Tourism

The Bridge to the Castle is the entryway to the historic Sidon Sea Castle, a medieval fortress located in the Mediterranean Sea, off the coast of Sidon in Lebanon. The bridge connects the mainland to the castle, which was originally built by the Crusaders in the thirteenth century on a small island that was formerly the site of a Phoenician temple and later fortified by the Romans. Over the centuries, the structure has served as a fortification, a residence, and more recently, a historical site that draws tourists from around the world. The Sidon Sea Castle exemplifies the blend of architectural and cultural influences that characterize Lebanon's history. The bridge itself provides an impressive approach, with its stone construction and scenic views of the sea and coastline. Visitors can walk across the bridge to explore the castle's remaining walls, towers, and gates, which provide a glimpse into the past and offer stunning vistas of the surrounding area and the bustling city of Sidon.
