Rustaq Fort, forte dell'Oman
Rustaq Fort is a fortress in Rustaq, Oman, that rises on a hilltop surrounded by thick stone walls. The structure features multiple towers, courtyards, and underground chambers that reflect traditional military architecture.
The fortress was built in earlier times to protect the city and surrounding areas. It played an important role in regional control and defense across many centuries.
The fortress sits on elevated ground that offers wide views over the surroundings. Visitors should prepare for steep paths and wear comfortable shoes, as the site has multiple levels.
