Restoration Activities at Muzayrib Castle and Amphitheater

The Daraa Department of Antiquities has completed the restoration works of the second phase of the Muzayrib Castle and the first phase of the corridors of the Roman Amphitheater.

Head of Daraa Antiquities Department, Dr. Muhammad Khair Nasrallah stated on Tuesday that the restoration work of the Muzayrib Castle included dismantling and installing stone facades, presenting a carved stone similar to the main stone, removing soil and implementing a traditional mound to support the stones. These activities were carried out side by side with others aiming at the restoration of the corridors of the Roman amphitheater which sustained damage due to natural factors.

Daraa Department of Antiquities is supervising the restoration work on the Omari Mosque and the ancient Chakra Church, as the Department continues the inventory of Daraa Museum and at the same time monitors building permits within the old towns in terms of construction, restoration and sewage projects, in cooperation with city and town councils.
