Settlements dating back to the 10th century BC have been unearthed on the hill on which the citadel stands, though some think that it was actually used as early as the 16th century BC. It has been captured and rebuilt on numerous occasion throughout the centuries.
Some of my photos are now available to buy in a variety of sizes and finishes, or as digital files, at Serenity Photography.
