While there are no memorials in the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia, the country is home to landmarks that commemorate significant historical events, highlighting its rich history. One such landmark is al-Masmak Palace, a cultural and historical icon in the capital, Riyadh. Originally built as a fortress in 1865, it now serves as a museum chronicling the stages of the Kingdom’s founding. The palace played a pivotal role in the history of the Third Saudi State, as it was the entry point for King Abdulaziz Al Saud when he recaptured Riyadh City in 1902 - a key event that led to the establishment and unification of the Kingdom.
