Quseir Amra
['Unesco World Heritage Centre']
UNESCO World Heritage Centre
The extensive fresco paintings of the bath building and reception hall are unique for Islamic architecture of the Umayyad period.
As such, Quseir Amra is an outstanding example of a particular type of architectural ensemble which relates specifically to the administrative strategy of the first Islamic caliphate.
Criterion (i): The Quseir Amra paintings constitute a unique artistic achievement in the Umayyad Period.
Criterion (iii): Quseir Amra bears exceptional testimony to the Umayyad civilization which was imbued with a pre-Islamic secular culture and whose austere religious environment left little trace in the visual arts.
Integrity (2010)The most significant elements of the property comprising the bath building and reception hall with their frescos remain intact.
