History of the Heritage Town in al-Ghazalah
The town of al-Ghazalah was an ancient source for the resources of Bani Asad in the Arabian Peninsula. Some of the dates found on some of its buildings indicate their construction in 1699, meaning more than approximately three hundred years ago. The Heritage Town of al-Ghazalah boasts several historical military landmarks, the most notable of which is the town's wall. This wall consists of two thick barriers with dirt filled between them to insulate against the bullets of enemy shooters. This wall was built by order of Imam Turki Bin Abdullah, the founder of the Second Saudi State. Furthermore, al-Ghazalah features several fortified castles, whose continued resilience reflects their solid construction.
