Résumé (en anglais)

These ancient castles were built as travel stations along the road between the Umayyad capital, Damascus, in Syria and the other district cities in Iraq and Arabia. The interpretation of these castles will be based on understanding the reasons for their foundation, their typology, function, structure and the relationships between them. At present these castles need a new system for their presentation that reflects their present condition while preserving and respecting their values and significance. The new system offers to the public a clear view of the integral aspects of the Umayyad civilization, which will help in the development of the program “Museum with No Frontiers” (MWNF)1. Each one of these castles will present one part of that civilization museum, in accordance with its architectural characteristics and appropriate development management.
