Presidential Palace, Presidential residence in Sanaa, Yemen
The Presidential Palace sits in the al-Sabeen district of southern Sanaa as a sprawling governmental complex with multiple buildings and grounds. The compound contains various structures that serve administrative functions for the state.
The palace was built as the center of governmental administration and served multiple ruling regimes. From 2015 onward, Houthi forces took control of the compound during armed conflict, reshaping the city's political landscape.
The palace structure incorporates elements of traditional Yemeni design, reflecting the architectural preferences of governmental buildings in the Arabian Peninsula.
The site is not accessible to visitors as security measures and military presence restrict entry to the compound. It is possible to view the exterior from surrounding areas, but entering is not permitted.
The compound displays visible damage from airstrikes carried out by a regional coalition in 2018. These impacts are observable on various parts of the building structure.
