Here you will find the Castle of Ajloun from which there is a splendid view westwards into the Jordan Valley. It looks like a Crusader fortress, but it was built by Muslims in 1184-85 as a military fort and buffer to protect the region from invading Crusader forces. It is a superb example of Arab and Islamic architecture.
