Hisham’s Palace

Hisham's Palace, Khirbat al-Mafjar, Qasr Hisham, is an important early Islamic archaeological site north of the town of Jericho. It consists of three main parts: a palace, an ornate bath complex, and an agricultural estate. Also associated with the site is a large park or agricultural enclosure which extends east of the palace. An elaborate irrigation system provided the complex with water from nearby springs.
