Kerak Castle is a large wedge-shaped building complex. The two main construction phases took place under the rule of the Crusaders (12th century AD) and the Mamluks (13th-16th centuries AD). The masonry of the Crusader period consists of dark rock material from the surrounding area. The Ayyubid-Mamluk builders used a grayish-yellowish limestone from a distant quarry, which was cut into rectangular blocks.

Vandring
The village of Kerak at the foot of the ledge with the ruins of the Crusader castle. Kerak Castle is a well-known example of Crusader architecture, a mixture of European, Byzantine and Arabic styles. For a long time it was a ruin, while the modern city has formed around it. In 2008, however, it was largely restored. The castle contains an archeological museum displaying finds from the wider area, ranging from the Stone Age to the Middle Ages. The history of the castle and town of Kerak is also presented.
