Summary

Description

English: Al-Qasr is set at the foot of pink limestone cliffs on the northern rim of the oasis. The architecture of the houses, which engulf the cool narrow streets and alleyways despite the summer heat and protect residents during sandstorms, attests to the importance the Ottomans placed in securing the remote oasis town.

العربية: مدينة القصر الاثرية، منطقة اثار غرب الداخلة

مدينة القصر العثمانية العائدة الى العصور الوسطى.

بُنيت هذه المدينة على أسس مدينة رومانية، تمّ تحديد موقعها عند سفح منحدرات من الحجر الجيري الوردي على الطرف الشمالي من الواحة.

الشوارع والأزقة الضيقة فيها برودة على الرغم من حرارة الصيف وتحمي السكان من العواصف الرملية، والهندسة المعمارية للمنازل تشهد على الأهمية التي وضعها العثمانيون لجعل المدينة الموجودة في الواحة البعيدة أكثر أمنًا.
