Al Murabba Historical Palace: A Living Chronicle of Riyadh’s Rich Legacy
The walls of Al Murabba Historical Palace serve as a gateway to Riyadh’s illustrious history, offering a glimpse into the ancient memories that have shaped the city. Spanning 1680 square meters, the palace’s grounds are saturated with the echoes of bygone eras, bearing witness to historical events, and embodying the glory forged upon its soil.
The Founding Tale
Commissioned by the late King Abdulaziz Al Saud, the visionary founder of the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia, Murabba Palace emerged 2 km away from old Riyadh, aligning with the city’s evolving landscape. The palace, resembling a miniature city with multiple buildings, became the official residence of the royal family in 1939. It also served as the central hub for state affairs and a Diwan, hosting meetings with global leaders.
Genuine Urban Heritage
A visit to Al Murabba Palace unveils the distinctive design of the central foyer, enveloped by surrounding rooms. Reflecting the prevalent traditional designs of its time, the palace showcases unique architecture to modern-day visitors. Tamarisk trunks, palm leaves, and branches adorn the rooms, while the palace’s foundations are crafted from stone, and its walls from mud bricks mixed with straw. Despite its simple architectural style, the palace’s beauty shines through in the intricate zigzagging pillars supporting its rooms and hallways.
Palatial Components and Royal Artifacts
Structured in the shape of a walled square, the palace echoes the cultural value of privacy cherished by the local society. Boasting 32 rooms across two floors, reception areas for the king’s guests, and administrative offices for aides and guards, the palace encapsulates a sense of regality. Embark on a historical tour inside to discover the king’s personal effects, clothing, photographs with his children, and encounters with various world leaders.
