Quasr al-Kharrana
710
Omayyad
Lacking baths and a large water supply Qasr Kharana was not a pleasure castle. Its remote yet highly visible location, coupled with the layout and organization of the building, indicate that it was used as a protected place for the Damascus government to meet with tribal leaders.
