!['Kal'at Ja'abar', c1915. Map of the fortress and citadel at Ja'aber, al-Tabqa city, on the left bank of the Euphrates, (Syria). 'The fortress...probably dates from the ninth century...The wonderful ruin of Kal'at Ja'abar ("formidable castle") stands out against the sky on a solitary tell. Its red walls are perched upon the overhanging mushroom cliffs of the hill, and in the centre rises a noble minaret, a landmark for miles around, which was doubtless built for purposes of observation as well as for calling the faithful to prayer. The accompanying plan, which I made on the spot and which I think is fairly accurate, will give a better idea of the size and form of the castle than pages of description'.
