The capture of this fort / castle was instrumental to the formation of the kingdom of Saudi Arabia. Includes an interesting story about Noura, the sister of the first king and her "Yellow Rose of Texas"-like tactics.
The restored fort in old quarter of Riyadh is a nighttime gathering spot for youngsters and families.
