Kal at Ja abar, c1915. Creator: Mark Sykes
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. From " The Caliphs Last Heritage, a short history of the Turkish Empire" by Lt.-Col. Sir Mark Sykes. [Macmillan & Co, London, 1915]
