Beaufort Castle in southern Lebanon is nearly 900 years old. Unesco granted it enhanced protection in 2024, recognising it as part of humanity's shared cultural legacy. This week it made headlines as Israeli forces captured the castle for the first time since their withdrawal in 2000.
In this episode of Culture Bites, hosts Enas Refaei and Farah Andrews discuss why heritage sites like Beaufort matter. The National's Beirut correspondent Jamie Prentis @jprentis1, who visited the castle recently, also joined the podcast to share what it felt like to stand there and take in the view across southern Lebanon and northern Israel, and to reflect on what it means to see it in the news now.
