ARCHITECTURE

The buildings of Safita were made of limestone rocks
found in abundance in the around region. The houses have tall ceilings,
small windows and tiled roofs. Around them wide gardens, narrow slip
roads and alleys constitute traditional architectural characteristics
of the town. The houses lie amphitheatrically around the tower which
dominates in the tallest point of the town. The location of Safita was
wisely selected so that one can see the view to the four horizons at a
distance of tens of kilometres.
