Kerak Castle is a well-known example of Crusader architecture, a mix of European, Byzantine and Arabic styles. For a long time it was in ruins, while the modern city formed around it. In 2008, however, it was largely restored. The castle contains an archaeological museum that exhibits 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.
