Kastell ed-Dumer, Roman fortress in Rif Dimashq Governorate, Syria
The rectangular military structure measures 192 by 174 meters and contains 20 towers, including four round towers at the corners.
This fortress was constructed as part of the Limes Arabicus, serving as a defensive outpost for the Roman Empire's southern frontier.
Archaeological investigations at the site, starting with Carlo de Vidua in 1820, revealed the strategic importance of Roman military architecture.
The fortress remains stand near the town of Ad-Dumair, approximately 4.5 kilometers to the east, and are accessible through local roads.
The armamentarium, a former weapons storage facility, stands as the sole preserved building within the fortress walls.
