Hi,
This is the old fort, situated in the center of old Riyadh, today it serves as a museum for old weaponry, photographs, and old scrolls.
Front view
Abdullah Ibn Jiluwi's spear, embedded 105 years ago into the door, after he missed Ajlan by a few inches to the right.
Names of the men who stormed al-Masmak on the dawn of 14th January 1902
The huge door. The small trap door you see in the middle is no more than 2 feet sq. The only way one could enter is head first, thus, exposing his head to a swordsman inside.
Another shalfa, and a migamaa' (flintlock)
