Al Hazm Castle, Historical fortification in Rustaq, Oman.

The rectangular fortress features two round defensive towers positioned at the southern and eastern corners of the stone structure.

Sultan bin Saif II initiated the construction of Al Hazm Castle in 1708, creating a residence that included military defenses and educational facilities.

The castle contains religious classrooms, a mosque, and the tombs of Yarubi imams, reflecting the integration of spiritual and administrative functions.

Visitors can access the castle from Saturday through Thursday between 9 AM and 4 PM, with an entrance fee of 0.5 Omani Rial.

The fortress stands apart from other Omani castles due to its construction without wooden materials in the ceiling structures.
