RIYADH: At the historic Prince Turki bin Saud Palace in Diriyah, past and present converge as immersive experiences revive stories of courage, patience and resilience rooted in the era of the First Saudi State.
The palace is one of the key landmarks featured in the “Hal Al-Qusoor” program, a flagship initiative of Diriyah Season 25/26, drawing visitors eager to explore a site rich in cultural and social significance.
Prince Turki was born in the At-Turaif District of historic Diriyah in the late 12th century AH (18th century). He grew up in an environment shaped by courage, horsemanship and leadership, influenced by his father, Imam Saud bin Abdulaziz, the commander of the First Saudi State’s armies.
Located in the southern part of the At-Turaif District, the palace was constructed in the early 13th century AH and reflects the traditional Najdi architectural style.
Built using mud bricks, stone and tamarisk wood, the structure consists of two floors arranged around a central courtyard.
