Rashaya Citadel
The Rashaya Citadel or Citadel of Independence is a national monument, in Lebanon. It was built as a palace by the Shihab family in the 18th century, was used by the French Mandate, and is now stationed by the Lebanese Armed Forces.〔 It is a tourist site that can be visited while under the army's surveillance.〔(Lebanon Atlas - Rashaya: Tourism in Lebanon, Lebanon Touristic Sites, Rachaya al Wadi, Rashayya )〕 The castle includes vaulted rooms〔()〕 and overlooks the historic mountain town.〔(Rashaya ) University of Montreal〕
==History==
The town of Rashaya overlooks the Taim Valley, a strategic position for fortress construction, and the present fort occupies an area where there are remains from more ancient fortifications including: Canaanite, Greco-Roman, Arab, Crusader and Ottoman rulers. The Shehab family refurbished the so-called Feather Tower on the site.
In November and December 1925, the Great Druze Revolt rocked the area as 3,000 Druze under the command of Zayd Beg surrounded the fort and its French legionnaires under Captain Granger until French reinforcements arrived.〔(Rachaya al Wadi ) Lebanon Traveler〕〔(Dictionary of Battles and Sieges: P-Z ) by Tony Jaques page 841〕
