There is a mosque in the complex with a minaret believed to be so far the oldest purposely built minaret in the world. The mosque’s mihrab was originally rectangular and later converted to the typical semi-circular shape. Like Qasr al-Hallabat, al-Qastal has a bath complex nearby, which was richly decorated with frescos, mosaics, marble tiled floors and carvings that depicted geometric, floral and animal motifs. The plan of the bath complex is similar to Qusayr Amra
