Fakhr-al-Din al-Ma'ani Castle or Palmyra Castle is a castle on a high hill overlooking the site of Palmyra, and named for the Druze emir Fakhr-al-Din II, who extended the Druze domains to the region of Palmyra during the 16th century. The castle was probably built by the Mamluks in the 13th century. The castle was surrounded by a moat, with access only available through a drawbridge.
