Al Qala (Template:Lang-ar) is a village in northern Bahrain that is most famous for being the location of the Bahrain Fort, the country's first UNESCO World Heritage Site.[1] The village is also the site of expansion, with multiple housing projects being constructed in its vicinity, some of which was delayed because of the archaeological sites in the village.[2] The village lies under the Northern Governorate administrative region.
