Ajloun Castle (Qalʻat ar-Rabad)

Ajloun Castle, medieval name Qalʻat ar-Rabad and sometimes referred to as the "Castle of Saladin" in source material, was constructed by the Ayyubids in the 12th century and enlarged by the Mamluks in the 13th century. Sited on a prominent hill in the Mount Ajloun district (Jabal Awf / Jabal Auf), the fortress occupied a strategic position from which it guarded three wadis that descend toward the Jordan Valley.
