Nizwa Fort is a large castle in Oman.
It was built in the 1650’s by Imam Sultan Bin Saif Al Ya’rubi on foundations that go as far back as the 12th century.
Two cannons guard the entrance to the fort like age-old sentinels.
Engraved on them are designs that date back to the mortar-based warfare.
Within the fort are battlements, turrets, twisting staircases, secret shafts and false doors, to deceive the enemy
These water cisterns draw water from an underground stream, ensuring endless supply of water during siege.
The enormous main tower rises 30 metres above the ground
and is 36 metres across.
Nowadays it is Oman's most visited national monument
