Qatrana Castle

Jordan

Qasr al-Qatraneh (alternatively: "Qatraneh" or "Qatrana Castle, " "Fortress Qatrana, " or "Khan Qatraneh") is an Ottoman structure which largely served to provide water and protection on the Syrian pilgrimage route between the Levant and the Gulf. It is located in modern-day Jordan, just off the country's Desert Highway, approximately 90 kilometres south of Amman and northwest of the town of Qatraneh. It is one of at least ten khans that have been identified and documented along the Syrian pilgrimage route in Jordan.
