The Shada Palace, also known as Shada Archaeological Palace, is a cultural symbol located in Abha, the capital city of the Asir region in Saudi Arabia. This historical palace was the former home of King Abdul Aziz's governor of Asir Province, and it serves as an excellent example of traditional Asiri architecture. Built towards the early 20th century, the palace is made of local materials such as stone, clay, and wood. Its multiple levels and intricately designed wooden balconies reflect the region's need for protection and the architectural response to the mountainous terrain. Now transformed into a museum, the Shada Palace showcases artifacts, pictures, and exhibits that provide insight into the area's cultural heritage and history. With its surrounding greenery and heritage significance, the palace is a key tourist attraction in Abha, particularly for those interested in the history and culture of the Asir region. The museum consists of several rooms, each dedicated to different aspects of local life including agriculture, art, and domestic living. The palace not only provides educational value but also offers impressive views of the surrounding city and landscape.
