The Citadel of Homs, also known as Homs Castle or Qalaat Homs (Arabic: قلعة حمص), is a historic building now mostly ruined in Homs, Syria. The citadel was built on top of an ancient tell southwest of the Old City, with remains dating back to the 3rd millennium BCE.[1] The citadel is locally known as the "Citadel of Usama", named after Usama ibn Munqidh.
