Kastel Fortress, just outside Jerusalem has a rich historyย becauseย of its unique, strategic location, and features the remains of several ancient settlements, and the story of one of the most significant battles in the establishment of the State of Israel. Nestled in the green forests of the Jerusalem Hills, about 10km west of the city, Kastel Fortress is now a National Park is an interesting place to explore and admire the beautiful landscapes.

The strategic location of the Kastel at the entrance to Jerusalem, overlooking the main road has made it a desirable site for centuries. The Romans first establishes their Castellum or fort and following them the Crusaders settled here. You can see why the Crusaders called it Belvoir (beautiful view) as you gaze down across the hills of Jerusalem. Later when the Arab village Al-Qastal was established here the muhktarโ€™s home took pride of place on the hilltop fortress ruins. However the most significant historical events occurred here in 1948 during the War of Independence. Jerusalem was under siege and running out of food and water supplies and so armed trucks made the treacherous drive along highway 1 where they were prime targets for the enemy in Al-Qastal. To solve this problem Operation Nachshon was launched by the Jewish Palmach who entered the Arab village. A legendary Arab leader, Abd al-Qadir al-Husayni was sent to attach and recapture the strategic hilltop village. The Arab leader was killed which led to a fierce battle but in the aftermath when Husayniโ€™s body was taken to be buried the Palmach took the hill for the final time. The park is a memorial site to the lives lost in this pivotal battle and here you can see a monument created by Israeli artist Yitzhak Yamin.

While in the park you can explore the underground bunkers and war trenches. Take a look at the Crusader fortress ruins and see the war memorial.ย  What remains of the Crusader fortress easily conjures up a picture of the structureโ€™s original form. There are several walls and arched windows through which you can look down upon the hills of Jerusalem and the city beyond. There are intact fireplaces windows and door ways. ย At the foot of the Kastelย Fortress is the Jewish settlement Maoz Zion.

Visiting Kastel

Pleasant campground with clean facilities including toilets, showers, fridges, food preparation surfaces, gas burners etc.

The camp area is not big. Has plenty of trees, picnic tables and half oil barrels for bonfires.

The national park overlooks the road between Jerusalem and tel aviv and was the site of a key strategic battle in 1948.

The site is well preserved and includes buildings and defensive positions as well as audio visual presentations. Stops on the way to the hilltop challenge visitors to think about the values of those who fought.

Situated just outside Jerusalem it is a popular site for school and...

A very cool place to visit with a big group. Otherwise you can not play the games on site. I really enjoyed learning about the significance of this place during the Independence War. My kids liked climbing, running, exploring the bunkers but the films were too heavy for them so I kept them away. I recommend a visit foe kids 10 and up but smaller children will enjoy the site for what it is. Keep in mind that there is no shade. We came after a visit to a spring so, our wet clothes kept us cool. If you come in summer, best to come in the morning.

Nestled in the green forests of the Jerusalem Hills, about 10km west of the city, Kastel Fortress is now a National Park is an interesting place to explore and admire the beautiful landscapes. The strategic location of the Kastel at the entrance to Jerusalem, overlooking the main road has made it a desirable site for centuries. The Romans first establishes their Castellum or fort and following them the Crusaders settled here. You can see why the Crusaders called it Belvoir (beautiful view) as you gaze down across the hills of Jerusalem. Later when the Arab village Al-Qastal was established here the muhktarโ€™s home took pride of place on the hilltop fortress ruins. However the most significant historical events occurred here in 1948 during the War of Independence. Jerusalem was under siege and running out of food and water supplies and so armed trucks made the treacherous drive along highway 1 where they were prime targets for the enemy in Al-Qastal. To solve this problem Operation Nachshon was launched by the Jewish Palmach who entered the Arab village. A legendary Arab leader, Abd al-Qadir al-Husayni was sent to attach and recapture the strategic hilltop village. The Arab leader was killed which led to a fierce battle but in the aftermath when Husayniโ€™s body was taken to be buried the Palmach took the hill for the final time. The park is a memorial site to the lives lost in this pivotal battle and here you can see a monument created by Israeli artist Yitzhak Yamin. While in the park you can explore the underground bunkers and war trenches. Take a look at the Crusader fortress ruins and see the war memorial.ย  What remains of the Crusader fortress easily conjures up a picture of the structureโ€™s original form. There are several walls and arched windows through which you can look down upon the hills of Jerusalem and the city beyond. There are intact fireplaces windows and door ways. ย At the foot of the Kastelย Fortress is the Jewish settlement Maoz Zion. Visiting Kastel A tour of the park takes up to three hours and can be undertaken throughout the year. The park has several organized tours including the โ€œConquer the Mountainโ€ game experience and โ€œCandlelight tour of the Trenchesโ€.

A very cool place to visit with a big group. Otherwise you can not play the games on site. I really enjoyed learning about the significance of this place during the Independence War. My kids liked climbing, running, exploring the bunkers but the films were too heavy for them so I kept them away. I recommend a visit foe kids 10 and up but smaller children will enjoy the site for what it is. Keep in mind that there is no shade. We came after a visit to a spring so, our wet clothes kept us cool. If you come in summer, best to come in the morning.
