Barzan Palace

Barzan (Arabic:قصر برزان) historical palace, located in Ha'il, Saudi Arabia, its construction was started in 1808 by prince Muhammad bin Abdul-Muhsin AL Ali over an area more than 300,000 meter square. The Palace was completed during the rule of the 2.nd Rashidi amir, Talal ibn Abdullah (1848–68).

The Palace consisted of 3 floors, the first had the reception halls, gardens, and kitchens. The second had the diplomatic guests rooms. The third had the royal family rooms. It was near Barzan souq.

Ibn Saud of Saudi Arabia gave orders to destroy the Palace after he had ousted the last Al-Rashid emir from power in 1921.
