This beautiful 5 storeyed Palace located atop a protruding rock formation in Wadi Dhahr, Near Sana'a, Yemen was the summer residence of Imam Yahya, who ruled Yemen from 1926-48. The Rock Palace (Dar al-Hajr) was built in the 1930s. Reportedly some portions of the palace already existed in 1930 and Imam Yahya added several major sections to give it the present form.
