Qasr Al-Kharana
Brief description
Source : Tito Dupret / 1001wonders.org
Qasr Al Kharana which rises up from a bare plain about 60 kilometers southeast of Amman. Completely rebuilt or at least remodeled by the Umayyads in 711, the building stands on the site of preceding Roman and then Byzantine structures rebuilt in the 7th century when the Sassanian Persians briefly conquered the area. The painstaking stucco decoration inside also seems to indicate that the building was meant to be a typically sumptuous residence for the Caliph.
