オマーンの城と要塞
Historic Forts & Castles
Oman’s landscape is defined by over 500 historic fortifications that protected its trade routes and oases. This collection spans UNESCO World Heritage sites like Bahla Fort to the Portuguese-built coastal batteries of Muscat. These structures showcase evolving military architecture, from 12th-century mud-brick walls to the sophisticated 17th-century circular towers of Nizwa and the reinforced administrative strongholds of the Dhofar region.
