قصر المشتى

An unfinished desert palace, attributed to the caliph al-Walid ibn Yazid ibn Abd al-Malik (125–126 AH). Most of it has collapsed. ¹

The most important carvings of its southern facade, cut in limestone, were taken to Berlin. The Ottoman sultan Abdulhamid gave them to the German emperor Wilhelm II, and they have been in the Berlin Museum since 1903 CE. ¹

The book describes a rectangular building flanked by semicircular towers. Its entrance leads to a courtyard, then to a larger courtyard, followed by the royal wing and the throne hall with three niches. ²

Researchers consider that one of the rooms was the palace mosque. ²
