    The castle of Qasr 'Amrah was probably built by the Umayyad caliph Walid I (705-715 AD), the same caliph that built the mosque of the Umayyads in Damascus. The castle was originally a place of relax and an hunting reserve from time to time used as a temporary lodging for member of the rullin Umayyad family. Some scholars think that it was built to protect the track of al-Azraq, Kharanaj and Qasr at-Tubah.
    In the begining of 1970 the castle was restored thanks to the Austrian, French and Spanish government and now it his the second monument (after Petra) in the World Heritage List.

    The face of Jesus
    by Cristian_Uluru
    The hamman is divided in three different rooms: Apodyterium (dressing room), a tepidarium and one calidarium.
    The first room that you can see is the tepidarium. It has got a hiding arch. On the roof there are nice painting of animals and a figure of a nude woman. A very strange painting in this room is the face of a man which the scholars think it is Jesus.
