Qasr al-Hosn, also known as the White Fort (originally not white in colour but painted bright white during 1976–1983 renovations) or Old Fort,was constructed in 1761 as a conical watchtower to defend the only freshwater well in Abu Dhabi island.The tower was later expanded into a small fort in 1793 by the then ruler, Shakhbut bin Dhiyab Al Nahyan, and became the permanent residence of the ruling Sheikh.The tower took its present shape after a major extension in the late 1930s, aided by revenues received for granting the first oil license in Abu Dhabi.It remained the emir's palace (hence the name Qasr al-Hosn, meaning Palace fort) and seat of government until 1966.The fort has been developed several times and is now partially open to the public.
