The An-Nusayriyah Mountains[1] is a mountain range in northwestern Syria running parallel to the Mediterranean coast from north to south.
History[]
In the 11th and 12th century, the Levantine Brotherhood of Assassins built nine of their citadels among these mountains, recognizing the formidable defense they offered.[1] Among these castles was the one based in Masyaf, and these fortresses would remain unconquered by Saracens[1] and Crusaders[2] alike until they finally fell to the Mongol Empire in the thirteenth century.[3]
In the time of the Ottoman Empire, the mountain range was also home to the Atlas Village.[3]
