Castles, Palaces, and Forts in Asia

written by Jennifer Mattern August 29, 2011
Masyaf Castle - Syria

Recently we shared a photostream of American castles. Now we’re taking a look at castles, palaces, and forts in another part of the world. Join us in our photo tour of Asian castles from the middle east to the far east. We’ll explore castles in places like India, Japan, Pakistan, Jordan, Syria, and more. You’ll find some similarities to European and American castles here, as well as many differences. The architectural diversity across this continent alone is amazing to see.

Here is our photostream of Asian palaces, castles, and forts.
