Al-Rusafa, Syria
Al-Rusafa ((アラビア語:الرصافة) ''Ruṣāfa'', also spelled ''Rassafah'', ''Rosafah'' or ''Resafi'') is a Syrian village located in the Masyaf Subdistrict in Masyaf District, located west of Hama and about 10 kilometers southwest of Masyaf.〔Willey, 2005, p. 228.〕 According to the Syria Central Bureau of Statistics (CBS), al-Rusafa had a population of 1,608 in the 2004 census. Its inhabitants are predominantly Alawites.〔Honigman, p. 791.〕 It is the site of a former Ismaili fortress.
==Fortress==
At the northern edge of the village is the fortress of al-Rusafa, which is situated on a hill 60 meters higher than the village itself. The fortress is largely preserved, although it is mostly covered by trees and vegetation. In the medieval period, it acted as a subsidiary fortress for the main Ismaili fortress of Masyaf. At its largest extent, it measures roughly 75 meters by 30 meters and is oval-shaped. The fortress was constructed from stone from local quarries and it consists of three stories.〔
The entrance in the northwestern section of the fortress is guarded by a tower. The outer walls are dominated by galleries and chambers, which presumably played the role of battlements. The lowest floor contains several storage rooms, a number of which were built 20 meters deep into the ground. The middle area of al-Rusafa is marked by the extensive presence of vaulted rooms. Although ruined, the central towers "are still high" according to Peter Willey,〔 an authority on Ismaili castles.〔(Peter Willey ). The Institute of Ismaili Studies.〕
