Description

El Qusair Mushatta o Mshatta, es un palacio de invierno omeya, hoy en ruinas, probablemente construido por el califa Walid II entre 743 y 744. Las ruinas se encuentran a unos 30 km al sur de Ammán, en Jordania, y forman parte de la red de castillos, palacios y caravasares denominados colectivamente castillos del desierto. Una parte de este palacio, la fachada con relieves, ha sido trasladada al Museo de Pérgamo de Berlín.
En 1964 se encontró un ladrillo en Mushatta con una inscripción escrita por Sulaiman ibn Kaisan, conocido por haber vivido entre los años 730 y 750, lo que refuerza la teoría de que fue construido por el califa Walid II, el príncipe artista. Se han encontrado algunas marcas en forma de cruz que atestiguan que en la construcción del palacio participaron cristianos, probablemente sometidos a trabajos forzados; también hay indicios de que participaron obreros venidos de Irán.
