Al Hazm Castle, also known as Al Hazm fort, is a castle in Rustaq, Oman.
Al Hazm Castle in Rustaq is one of the most magnificent castles in Oman and was built in 1708, towards the end of the reign of Al Yarubi tribe over Oman when they made Al Rustaq the capital. It is about 160 km away from Muscat and is on UNESCO’s list of World Heritage sites along with Al Rustaq Fort.
Though the castle was designed primarily for defence and security purposes, it features delicate artistic architectural elements. The most important feature of the main building of the castle is its intricate Indian wood door. The castle also has a prison, mosque and a religious classroom. There is also a falaj that runs underneath the castle and provides vital water to many date trees and other agricultural treasures in the area. Al Hazm Castle stands as a solid reminder of Oman’s proud history and enduring heritage.
