Smar Jbeil is a village in the Batroun district. Its altitude is 500 m and it has good views to the Mediterranean Sea, the coast from Byblos to Tripoli to the east, and the mountains (Bsharri) to the west. The citadel was originally probably built by the Phoenicians (1200 - 333 BC). The Phoenicians carved their dwellings, the walls, and the canals into the rocks. The village and the citadel were then conquered by the Persians in 555 BC and Alexander the Great in 331BC. The Romans (64 BC โ€“ 635 AD) came next and built on top of the Phoenician walls. The Roman walls are made of stone blocks where the sides of the blocks are carved flat around the edges. The Crusaders (1090 AD) demolished part of the castle and built on top of that. The Crusader built the vaulted rooms and passageways. They also built towers that were demolished in an earthquake in 1630. The history of the citadel makes it a very interesting place to visit. Very few people visit it, so the place is never crowded. The views are also really good, and itโ€™s within walking distance from the ruin of a church built in the 9th century and the newer village church...

Ancient citadel from the crusader era vast and interesting to take pictures and a look at an old part of lebanon. an old path behind the citadel took you to roman caverns and graves. some pheonician marks are found on the hill near the citadel that describes Adonis. A must visit place that complete a historical part of lebanon. Superb view over the sea at batroun.

It's one of the biggest sites I've been to, aside from the very well known public sites. Although the citadel was horrible restored, it's looks amateurish and I'm not even an extent, it's still really well preserved and a very big site. There are so many rooms and details all around. The location overlooks a huge area and is free to visit.
