Al-Hamidiyah Palace (Arabic: قصر الحميدية, romanized: Qasr al-Ḥamīdīah) or al-Hamidiyah Building (Arabic: مبنى الحميدية, romanized: Mabnai al-Ḥamīdīah) was an Ottoman-era double storey government building in the Ajyad district of Mecca, Saudi Arabia.[1][2] The building played a pivotal role in the country's modern history as it was the location from where Prince Faisal bin Abdulaziz announced the official establishment of Saudi Arabia on King Abdulaziz's behalf. Built by the-then Ottoman governor of Hejaz Osman Nuri Pasha in 1885, it was named after Sultan Abdul Hamid II. The structure was completely razed down in 1957 during the reign of King Saud in order to pave the way for the Grand Mosque's expansion.
