Masmak Fort
Located in the centre of the city, the Masmak Fort was built in 1865 by the then Prince of Riyadh, Abdulrahman ibn Sulaiman ibn Dabaan. The fort is an important monument in the history of the Kingdom as the Battle of Riyadh led by King Abdul-Aziz for the unification of the country was fought in the area of the fort. The fort was later restored in 1995 and has become a popular choice of tourist destinations for visitors of the country.
