Ajlun Castle (Qala’at ar-Rabad) - Ajloun Castle, also known as Qal’at ar-Rabad, is a 12th-century Muslim fortress located on Mount Auf. It was constructed by Izz ad-Din Usama bin Munqidh, a general of Saladin, between 1184 and 1188 AD. Its strategic position controlled Ajloun’s iron mines and protected the region from Crusader forces while overseeing trade routes and the Jordan Valley.
