Travelling from Amman, the first of these to be reached is Qasr Hallabat, first used as a second century Roman fort and later rebuilt in the third century by the Emperor Caracalla. Later, between 709 and 743A.D., the Umayyads virtually demolished the Roman buildings in their entirety and rebuilt an extensive complex including a castle, mosque and bath-house. These buildings have fine decorations of mosaic, carved stucco woodwork and frescoes, many of which have been removed for safe-keeping. The site is not yet fully restored.
