Default III. Al-Masmak Fort

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)
