Qasr Tuba
Qasr Tuba is a castle in the Amman Governorate of northern Jordan.〔Maplandia world gazetteer〕 Like Qasr Mshatta, it was built using a combination of limestone bricks. Its plan consists of an oblong enclosure measuring 140 m by 72 m, almost a double square, or 2 symmetrical enclosures joined through a long central corridor. The enclosure walls are supported by semi-round towers, except on the north side where the 2 gateways are flanked by 2 square rooms. The northwestern section is nearly intact and several lengths of curtain-wall exist on the western side. There are also wells located nearby, close to a dry river bed. The rest of the building, which was never completed, is not preserved. == History == Like the other desert castles Qasr Tuba was built during the Umayyad Caliphate. The site was brought to art historical attention after it was visited in 1896 by the Czech explorer Alois Musil.〔(Qasr Tuba | Jordan Travel Information and guide )〕
