Khirbat al-Mafjar
an Omayyad castle in Jordan. Khirbat al-Mafjar, situated north of Jericho, dates from the second quarter of the eighth century. Now in ruins, it originally was a typical fortified Omayyad castle, with a square courtyard enclosed by a gallery and stone two-story dwelling quarters with brick vaults. The castle is joined on the north by a court with a mosque and bathhouse, and on the east by a large inner courtyard. The interiors are ornamented with sculpture of painted stucco, floor mosaics, and carved stone and stucco. REFERENCEHamilton, R. W. Khirbat al Mafjar.

It boasts the once luxurious hotel built in 1920 - Hisham's Palace where the Palestinian autonomous authority is expected to set up its headquarters. |
