The Tour de la Quarantaine stands on a strategic hilltop position, featuring thick stone walls and defensive structures that extend across the mountainous terrain.

Built during the Crusader period, this fortress served as a military establishment for the Knights Templar, controlling access routes and monitoring movements in the region.

Visitors can reach the fortress through marked paths from Jericho, with guided tours available to explain the military and architectural features of the structure.
