Originally constructed circa 1250 AD on Persian ruins from the 7th century AD, The imposing present-day structure was rebuilt by the first ruler of the Ya'ruba dynasty in 1650.

It was the site in 1624 of the election of the first imam of the Ya'ariba, Nasir bin Murshid bin Sultan, and served as the imamate's capital a number of times, controlling trade between Oman's coastal ports and the mountainous interior.
