Arwa Bin Al Zubair Castle

Urwah ibn Al Zubayr Palace lies on the banks of Wadi Al Aqiq in western Madinah, along the road leading to Masjid Al Miqat (the miqat of the people of Madinah), about 3.5 km from the Prophet's Mosque. Umar ibn Abdulaziz (may Allah be pleased with him) ordered the palace to be built at the request of Urwah ibn Al Zubayr, one of the great jurists of the Tabi'un and a son of the Companion Al Zubayr ibn Al Awwam (may Allah be pleased with him), known for his wide knowledge of jurisprudence, hadith and the Prophet's biography. Some of the palace's buildings still stand today and are important archaeological landmarks reflecting the architectural style of the Umayyad era, attracting lovers of Islamic history and antiquities.
