Caco

The stone fortress features an 8.5-meter tower that stands among the remaining structures at an elevation of 52 meters above sea level.

The castle originated during the Crusader period and underwent reconstruction by Sultan Baybars following his conquest of the region in the thirteenth century.

The architectural elements of Caco Castle demonstrate the military construction methods developed during conflicts between Christian and Muslim forces in medieval times.

The archaeological site maintains preserved sections of the medieval fortification, which visitors can examine to understand defensive systems of the period.

The fortress controlled the only entrance passage to Mount Nablus from the coastal Sharon plain, making it a strategic point for regional power.
