Masmak Citadel is a magnificent fort that takes back
into the history
of Saudi Arabia. This fortress dates back to the 1860′s when it was
built by Mohammed bin Abdullah bin Rasheed. The fortress has now been restored
and houses a museum tat displays artifacts and weaponry
of an erstwhile era.

The Masmak Citadel, Riyadh has
a palm gate which is about 3.65 meters high and 2.65 meters wide. Al Kokha, the
small opening in this gate has been designed in a way that the gate does not
need to be opened for letting people in and out of the fortress.
Made primarily of clay
and mud brick, the Masmak Citadel of Riyadh is home to a mosque and well. The
castle also has four 18-meter high watchtowers that have openings from where
soldiers fired at enemies. Al Murabba, the square shaped tower in the midst of
the castle, is its biggest highlight.
