Fortification

On the day before we left Riyadh for good, we were provided with a driver to take us wherever we wanted to go. One place was the National Museum of Saudi Arabia for a final visit.

An old fortification on display at the museum. Unfortunately, I managed to cut some of the cannon off but definitely can’t go back to take the picture again!

A strong fortification, the detail is very nice and the canon adds to the magic of your shot. So nice you had a chance to go here before departing. V

Tout un aménagement pour bien se protéger, une très belle présentation de cette robuste structure! V

What an interesting fortification - I wonder what material the door is - doesn't look like wood. Nicely captured inspite of half a cannon :) V

You definitely captured the forbidding nature of this fortification!
