Image description

The Nizwa Fort is a large castle in Nizwa, Oman built in the seventeenth century. It was built in the 1650s by the second Ya'rubi; Imam Sultan Bin Saif Al Ya'rubi, although its underlying structure goes back to the 12th century.[ It is Oman's most visited national monument. The fort was the administrative seat of authority for the presiding Imams and Walis in times of peace and conflict. The main bulk of the fort took about 12 years to complete[1] and was built above an underground stream. The fort is a powerful reminder of the town's significance through turbulent periods in Oman's long history.
