Director of Ajloun’s Department of Antiquities, Ismail
Melhem, said that the restoration work of the castle aims to develop tourism in
the governorate, especially after years of delay.
Maintenance, he added, is part of the department’s ongoing
plans to highlight the treasures abundant with Ajloun for tourists.
Recent restoration and maintenance work included adding protective
measures to antiquities, tiling floors, removing rubble, cleaning the space,
and restoring part of the castle’s inner master stairway’s roof.
The stairway was also connected to the rest of the castle to
help make movement easier.
Melhem added that the restoration and maintenance of many
archaeological sites in Ajloun were carried out by trained and qualified cadres.
Through these efforts, he added, the department was able to
provide job opportunities for the unemployed by hiring them to preserve the
historical legacy of these sites and to help tourists enjoy the visit.
