| Summary: | Al-Qastal which consider as one of the most famous Umayyad ruin, is located 35 km south Amman. The most significant part in this site is the Umayyad mosque and its unique minaret, which consider as the oldest Islamic minaret in the Islamic world (still standing), the mosque was in very bad and dangerous situation. In this paper I’ll speak about the restoration, rehabilitation, and protection works, particularly the reconstruction of the western wall, the protection of the courtyard and the restoration and rehabilitation of the internal part of the mosque. Also I’m going to follow the Mesopotamians influences which appeared in the Umayyad monuments in Transjordan in the eight century AD. |
