Qasr Bashir (castle Bashir) , Jordan. Outside of Amman.
Built by Romans. Structure still stands only partially fallen after 2000 + years. ALso nearby is Roman built water source still used today by local bedouins sheep hearders and farmers.
Out of the depths of the Jordanian desert rise the largely intact walls of Qasr Bashir, an Ancient Roman fortress forgotten by time. Up to two storeys in height in places, Qasr Bashir is probably one of the best preserved, but least known, Ancient Roman forts in the world and was probably garrisoned by an auxiliary cavalry unit intent on protecting this area of the Roman frontier.
