It is an ancient ancient castle approximately 45 kilometers from the capital, Sana’a, and combines in its foot the effects of the Himyarite civilization with the monuments of the Sultanate and the imams until recently. Feel this while standing on those archaeological and historical monuments from the remnants of palaces, ponds, guard towers, fortifications walls, rock tombs, grains burials dug into the rocks, agricultural lands and the two wondrous gates of the fort. It is said that this fortress was nominated for the 2013 Aga Khan Award for Architecture. This fortress is described as the fortress, as it made Medina and it a safe haven for every fugitive, fortified, opponent, or preacher, and all the means of attack were broken in front of him, as it was the headquarters of many scholars, preachers, imams and princes.
Many stories and legends were woven around the fortress of champions and battles, and the most famous of those battles took place between the Imam al-Mutahhar and the Turks. At the top of the fort are Sabian Hamiriya inscriptions, and there are two mosques in it, one of which was built by Imam Abdullah bin Hamzah, while the latter, whose remains are in the fort, was built. There are also in its surface two favorite pools carved in the rock and many tombs, houses and tombs dug in the rock or built with stones during the state of Hussein bin Al-Qasim Al-Ayani … It is estimated between 375 (Hijri-450) AH. Work was carried out on the restoration and expansion of the fort’s amphitheater, its gates, walls, and a number of buildings and towers. Imam al-Mutahhar bin Sharaf al-Din also had a role in the restoration and renewal of the building of this fort
