The floors and towers have several openings that were used for military purposes, while the southern and western barricades were added to serve as the first line of defense for the main structure, which sits 250 meters above sea level.

The castle was used as a fortress throughout several historical eras. Sheikh Abdullah Al-Qar’awi turned the monument into a place dedicated to teaching, studying and disseminating knowledge among the region’s students.[youtube]TJs5unhUGy0[/youtube]
In 1932, King Abdulaziz ordered the castle to be restored and turned into the headquarters of the Saudi army. The restoration process was completed a year later and the first Saudi military garrison was stationed on the site.
