Because of its prominent frescoes, Qasr Amra received UNESCO World Heritage Site status in 1985. Constructed near a wadi of pistachio trees in around AD 711 during the reign of Walid I. Restorations in the 1970s uncovered floor-to-ceiling frescoes by a group of Spanish archaeologists. To see an authentic painting of the zodiac, gaze up at the ceiling of the main dome.
