Info
" Ajloun Castle is an Ayyubid
castle that stands a top Jabal Auf, near Ajloun, in northern Jordan. The fortress was built by Izz al-Din Usama, a
commander and nephew of Salah ad-Din al-Ayyubi (Saladin), in AD 1184-1185. The
fortress is considered one of the very few built to protect the country against
Crusader attacks from Karak in the south and Bisan in the west. From its
situation, the fortress dominated a wide stretch of the northern Jordan Valley,
controlled the three main passages that led to it (Wadi Kufranjah, Wadi Rajeb
and Wadi al-Yabes), and protected the communication routes between south Jordan
and Syria. It was built to contain the progress of the Latin Kingdom of
Transjordan and as a retort to the castle of Belvoir a few miles south of the
lake of Tiberias. Another major objective of the fortress was to protect the
development and control of the iron mines of Ajlun.
The original castle core had
four corner towers. Arrow slits were incorporated in the thick walls and it was
surrounded by a fosse averaging 16 meters (about 52 feet) in width and 12–15
meters (about 39–49 feet) in depth. Jerash, the Gerasa of Antiquity (Ancient
Greek: Γέρασα), is the capital and largest city of Jerash Governorate, which is
situated in the north of Jordan, 48 kilometres (30 mi) north of the capital
Amman towards Syria. Jerash Governorate's geographical features vary from cold
mountains to fertile valleys from 250 to 300 metres (820 to 980 ft) above sea
level, suitable for growing a wide variety of crops
In the latter Ottoman
period, the city of Jerash's name was abandoned and changed to Sakib, yet this
was not a permanent development, as the name "Jerash" reappears in
Ottoman tax registers by the end of 16th century.
A strong earthquake in 749
AD destroyed large parts of Jerash, while subsequent earthquakes along with the
wars and turmoil contributed to additional destruction. Its destruction and
ruins remained buried in the soil for hundreds of years until they were
discovered by German Orientalist Ulrich Jasper Seetzen in 1806.[4] He began
excavation and a return to life of the current Jerash by inhabitants of older
villages. 70 years later, this was followed by the Muslim community,
Circassians, who emigrated to Jordan from the Caucasus in 1878 after the
Ottoman-Russian war. Subsequently a large community of people from Syria came
to the area at the beginning of the 20th century".
