| Abstract | ||
| The present study dealt with the Karbala city fence ( enclosure) which was completely removed and demolished in the first half of the twentieth century ; one could find no remains of it due to the opening of many streets , the negligence, and the establishment of different modern orban projects in addition to becoming old and to the breaking out of wars and the disasters of nature. This subject is considered new and important as it has never been tackled or documented by archaeologists . The absence and rarity of the new studies dealing with the fence might be due to the rarity of information and data in the historical studies and also the rarity of the evidence and traces which indicate its route and line in the old and ancient districts . The researcher tried to draw the fence and indicate and appoint the route of it through the old city depending on the local references and on the maps drawn during the British occupation or after it . Besides , he spot light on its architecture and building materials and see its measurements and also show the number of its towers together with the situation of its six gates mentioning their names in addition to mentioning the role the fence played in the historical events the city witnessed during the Ottoman era . The study came out with some results that , it is hoped, might be of advantage in the field of the academic studies specialized in late Islamic remains and antiques as such results documented information on a fence of an ancient city and contributed to discovering and showing important sides of its delimitations diagrams and architecture in order for it to be one ring of serial fortifications of the archeological and ancient cities registered in the field of architecture . | ||
