The Ritz-CarltonSeptember 18, 2014The Masmak Fortress, a clay and mud-brick fort, is located in the old quarters of Riyadh. It was here that Ibn Saud won the battle to recapture Riyadh in 1902.

Muhammad KashifJune 29, 2013An interesting place to visit. Must visit for those who have an interest in history of Riyadh.Upvoted Mar 18- عسـافـهـ 💍 سـارهـ العسافApril 10, 2021Built in 1865, the fortress has served many purposes. To house the garrisons who protected the city, it later was an ammunition warehouse after the raid by King Abdulaziz and, later still, a prison.
Didn't have much time to explore, so really didn't get to explore much, the tour was helpful and interesting about different Saudi royalty, and various misc details.

From here, the most important landmarks of the city, and the beautiful capital Riyadh, and from here began the story of aKingdom , and the glory of AbdulAziz
