Tzuba Fortress, also known as Belmont, was built in 1170 as a Crusader stronghold overlooking the road to Jerusalem. The fortress was occupied throughout history, and has not been restored, which is part of what makes this particular guard post unique.
When you look around the fortress you can see the different time periods if you know what to look for. A guide can point out the different stone types and the thickness and the types of mortar; each one distinguishes the period of construction.
