Khasab Fort, Musandam Governorate, Oman
Khasab Castle is located in Khasab, Musandam. The current form of the castle was built by the Portugese in the 17th century on top of an ancient fort built in ancient unknown times. The Portuguese colonized Khasab as part of their plan to take control over the Strait of Hormuz, but they were removed from Khasab by the Omanis around the year 1624. The castle remained in control of the Omanis from that time. The castle was initially renovated in the year 1990 and then again developed to its current state in the year 2007.
