Sohail Castle was built as a defensive castle by the Muslims around the 12th century.

The castle was captured by the Christians in 1485.

The castle stands on a small hill and was a fair old pech up from sea level but I made it to the outside wall.

I soon found the entrance gate.

Inside the gate was a defensive barbican, where a corridor led between two high walls to the inner gate house.

Soon I was inside the courtyard and contemplating the gate house.

A view of the gate house.

Reconstructed soldiers' houses within the courtyard.

Within the courtyard, where there had once also been a priest's house, for christian church services were also held here.
