View of the ruins of the exterior walls of the second enclosure of the Krak of the Knights Castle from the northeast, Ottoman Empire (now in Syria)

1859-1860

- Suzanne K. Williamson indicates that this photograph shows tower "10" of the second enclosure of the Krak de Chevaliers Castle, Ottoman Empire (now Syria) from the northeast (Nov. 1986). Further research should include verification of this information and identification of the source(s) from which it was obtained. The cardinal point indicated in the title, also provided by Williamson, is presumed to be correct.
