The Masmak Fortress, a clay and mud-brick fort, is located in the old quarters of Riyadh. It was here that Ibn Saud won the battle to recapture Riyadh in 1902.

Masmak is a must visit when in Riyadh. The fort has a decent museum telling the history of Riyadh with interesting old photographs . After, have a stroll around the small souks nearby.
