Masmak Fortress in the Saudi capital

Masmak Fortress in the Saudi capital, Riyadh, was first built around 1865. But the building became famous after 37 years later. In 1902, the exiled member of the kingdom, Abdulaziz bin Abdul Rahman bin Faisal Al Saud, returned to his ancestral home, Riyadh and captured this fortress.
Headquartered in Masmak, he continued to conquer various kingdoms in the region, before finally uniting them and becoming the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia that we know today.
At present the Masmak fort is a popular destination among tourists. Here tourists can watch an audio visual that contains the history of the building. In addition there are also displays of various weapons and photo galleries about Saudi Arabia.
