Fortress of al-Qatraneh
- Name : Fortress of al-Qatraneh
- Place : Jordan
- Construction date/period : 1531
- Construction materials : Stone (sandstone, basalt)
- Architectural pattern : Suleiman the Magnificent
- Dimensions : 22.40 x 17.35 m; H. (average): 9 m
Situated at a
stopover point on the pilgrim road, this fortress was intended to provide
protection and services for the caravans. Many fortresses were built with this
in mind by the Ottomans, as protectors of the Holy Places from 1517 onwards. Al-Qatraneh was mentioned as early as 1520 by the pilgrim
Ibn al-Shama'.
The stone used came
from local quarries. Well polished, it was used for the facing of the
rubblestone and mortar walls, which it strengthened while also being pleasing
to the eye. The inside walls were coated with plaster.
Some 100
kilometres south of Amman,
the structure is rectangular. Seen from the outside it looks like a fortress,
but the interior is that of a caravanserai, with rooms set on two levels along
each side of a long rectangular courtyard. The entrance is in the middle of the
wall on the south side; it comprises a round arch 3.05 metres high, inside
which is a double door topped with a segmental arch. On three corbels above the
doorway is a machicolation with a window and a small dome. Similarly set on
three corbels, a bartizan – an overhanging turret – occupies the middle of
the other three facades. From the entrance a small, groined-vault corridor
leads to the courtyard, where the rooms are roofed with hemispherical domes or
groined vaults. To the east of the courtyard a staircase leads to the upper level
and to a defensive terrace shielded by merloned battlements. In the centre of
the open courtyard is a rainwater cistern, while a spring a few metres to the
east of the fort has its own pool and purification system. Ornamentation is
sparse: on the south facade, around the entry arch, are three projecting round
stones. Two types of arrow slits punctuate the facades.
As a structure,
al-Qatraneh shows the influence of its site, the raw
materials to hand and local climatic conditions. The same plan is to be found
at the earlier Qasr al-Hallabat in Jordan, then in such Ummayad residences as Qasr
al-Kharana in Syria, at Fort Azrak (1236), the first
phase of Ajlun (1184) and in Mameluke fortresses like that of Qa’it Bay in
Alexandria (1477). It was also adopted for the Ottoman forts built along the
Egyptian pilgrim route, among them Fort
Alaznm (1538) in Saudi Arabia.
The use of bartizans is said to have been influenced by the projections over
the doors in the Fatimid wall in Cairo
(Bab al-Futuh, Bab al-Zuwayla). This feature is present in the Ottoman castles
in Turkey, the Islamic West
and Saudi Arabia,
as well as in many modern and medieval castles and palaces in the West.
