Ibn Thali Palace, Royal palace in Saudi Arabia.
Ibn Thali Palace is a royal residence in Saudi Arabia constructed using modern reinforced concrete techniques that marked a shift in the kingdom's architectural approach. The building combines traditional design features with contemporary construction methods of its era.
The palace was commissioned by King Abdulaziz ibn Saud in 1943 as part of a period of major infrastructure development across the country. The project reflected the monarchy's desire to adopt modern building practices and strengthen national capacity.
The palace incorporates traditional Saudi Arabian design elements while serving as a center for diplomatic relations and governmental functions throughout its existence.
The site is located in a specific area of Saudi Arabia and is accessible to visitors subject to local regulations governing heritage sites. It is advisable to check current conditions and access requirements before planning your visit.
During the Gulf War from 1990 to 1991, the palace was repurposed as a military command center serving entirely different functions. This transformation demonstrated how the structure could adapt to meet urgent national needs.
