History
Arwad was another
important Phoenician city and possessed the best harbour between
Tripoli and the mouth of the Orontes.
Arwad, as the
Phoenicians called it, colonized the mainland as far north as Jeble
and eastwards nearly to Homs. Flourished during the Seleucid’s era,
It became a strong hold for the Crusaders, and was occupied by a French garrison during the French period. |
