Palace, Turaif district (UNESCO World Heritage Site)

Another long-abandoned palace in the UNESCO World Heritage Site, not far from the one below (which also has the UNESCO description). These two palaces are not currently under restoration and are not accessible to the public as far as I know.

Hope the don't let it decay completely, but its good to see and wonder what it used to be like.

Beautiful piece of history before our eyes, like your low angle, adds a kind of dignity to this palace. V
