Castle of al-Al

The castle of al-Al (Arabic: قلعة العال‎, "Qal'at al-'Al") was, if indeed it existed, a short-lived castle built in 1105 near al-‘Al on the Golan Heights in Terre de Suète by Hugh of Saint Omer, the man put in charge of the Galilee by King Baldwin I (r. 1100–1118). The older identification with the ruins at the site of Qasr Bardawil has been abandoned after it being classified as a Bronze Age site.
