Nizwa Fort Design photo copyrighted by: Brian McMorrow Nizwa Fort design is therefore cited as a classic example of fort-building during the 1649-1679
period, an era that witnessed great advances in military technology, which began with the
introduction of mortar-based warfare.
The main bulk of the citadel took about 12 years to build, apparently with materials
pillaged from other forts as the spoils of war.
