这两座堡垒最能体现不同势力的相互影响，它们记载了十字军东征时期（11世纪至13世纪）近东防御工事的演变。1142年至1271年期间，耶路撒冷的圣•约翰骑士修道会修建了武士堡，13世纪末时，马穆鲁克又进一步进行了修建。武士堡是迄今保存最完好的十字军东征时的堡垒之一。它是中世纪堡垒，尤其是军界堡垒的典型，包括修道会建造的八个圆形城堡和之后马穆鲁克建造的一个方形堡垒。同样，不论从建筑质量还是从对不同地层的保存来看，萨拉丁堡都是此类堡垒中的杰出代表，尽管它的一部分已经成为废墟。萨拉丁堡保留了10世纪拜占庭早期的建筑特征、12世纪晚期法兰克人的改建以及12世纪晚期到13世纪中期艾优卜王朝新建的防御工事。

These two castles represent the most significant examples illustrating the exchange of influences and documenting the evolution of fortified architecture in the Near East during the time of the Crusades (11th - 13th centuries). The Crac des Chevaliers was built by the Hospitaller Order of Saint John of Jerusalem from 1142 to 1271. With further construction by the Mamluks in the late 13th century, it ranks among the best-preserved examples of the Crusader castles. The Qal’at Salah El-Din (Fortress of Saladin), even though partly in ruins, represents an outstanding example of this type of fortification, both in terms of the quality of construction and the survival of historical stratigraphy. It retains features from its Byzantine beginnings in the 10th century, the Frankish transformations in the late 12th century and fortifications added by the Ayyubid dynasty (late 12th to mid-13th century).
