Restoration efforts bring new life to Saudi historic Kasbat Al-Midmar
RIYADH: In the heart of Badr Al-Janoub governorate, the historic Kasbat Al-Midmar rises proudly from the old district — a striking reminder of Saudi Arabia's deep architectural and cultural heritage. Built more than 300 years ago, the kasbah, or watchtower, is a seven-story mudbrick structure designed in the traditional circular form, wide at the base and tapering as it ascends, the Saudi Press Agency reported. Originally built as a watchtower to safeguard nearby farmlands, it still looks out over the village and valley today. Saudi Arabia's Heritage Commission continues to protect and restore the region's historic buildings, placing them on the National Antiquities Register as part of the Kingdom's cultural legacy. The recently restored structure is now preserved under the supervision of the Kingdom's Heritage Commission. Surrounding the kasbah are the remnants of traditional mud houses, part of a network of historical fortresses and homes that reflect the enduring legacy of the region. These buildings illustrate the ingenuity of local architecture and the importance of such fortifications in the daily life of previous communities. Manea Naji Al-Saad, vice president of the Najran Society for History and Archaeology, told SPA that the governorate where aware that Badr Al-Janoub is rich in archeological sites, including old mud houses and Qishla Castle, which stands atop Mount Al-Qarah. Nearby is Al-Thaghr Palace, a structure dating back to the First Saudi State. Built by the order of Imam Saud bin Abdulaziz bin Mohammad in 1221 AH, the four-story palace is made of stone and features a large protective wall and a deep central well. The commission continues to protect and restore the region's historic buildings, placing them on the National Antiquities Register as part of the Kingdom's cultural legacy, the SPA reported.
