The foundations of Yehiam Fortress were built about 1000 years ago. The fortress was a farm during the time of the European Crusaders. Later, the farm was sold to a German Crusader order who fortified it into a fortress, as a line of defense for the city of Akko, which was the main city of the Crusaders at that time. After the defeat of the Crusaders by the Muslims (1291), the fortress was destroyed and stood abandoned for hundreds of years.
A trip to an ancient fortress among the mountains promises a special experience and an amazing view, a wonderful observation from the ancient watchtower.
