From the Lonely Planet guide to the Middle East (ISBN 0-86442-701-8) p623,

This was the citadel in the heart of Old Riyadh that Abdul Aziz took in January 1902 to regain control of the city. During the raid one of the future king's companions heaved a spear at the door with such force that the head is still lodged in the doorway ... The fortress is built of dried mud. It is now used as a museum honouring Abdul Aziz.
