Description
The remains of this huge Umayyad palace complex include vestiges of a vast entrance hall, baths, a cistern and a colonnade lined by thirteen columns, allowing the visitor to imagine it at its height in the 8C, when it stood along with lodging and administrative buildings. Inside, the décor shows the Sassanid Persian influence in its construction. Head up to the terrace by the outside staircase to take in a fine view over the complex.
