Image description

Whole Artwork View. Castle of Amra from southeast with its typical barrel vault; the castle was built for the caliph Walid the First and it is considered one of the most important examples of early Islamic art and architecture; in 1985 it has been declared a World Heritage Site by UNESCO; the castle is even more remarkable for the frescoes adorning the inside and depicting hunting scenes, naked women and an accurate representation of the zodiac which is located on the vaulted ceiling of a bath chamber. Amra Castle, Zarqa Governatorate, Zarqa, Jordan
