The Crac des Chevaliers fortress, a World Heritage Site known for its 13th-century carved arcades and capitals, was severely impacted by the earthquake that struck in February 2023. To conserve and restore the most damaged parts of the castle, the aim of the project is to document and evaluate unstable structures, clear away debris, reinforce and shore up the walls where needed, and rebuild the damaged sections.
