Custodian of the Two Holy Mosques King Salman bin Abdulaziz Al Saud directed on Saturday the naming of 15 squares in Riyadh after the imams and kings of the Saudi State, following a proposal by Prince Mohammed bin Salman bin Abdulaziz Al Saud, Crown Prince and Prime Minister.
The move coincides with Saudi Arabia’s celebration of Founding Day on February 22.
The directive underscores King Salman and Crown Prince Mohammed’s commitment to honoring the immense legacy of the imams and kings who, for over 300 years, have been instrumental in establishing, unifying, developing, and protecting the Kingdom, preserving its resources, ensuring its security, and elevating its people.
The 15 squares, prominently located on Riyadh's main roads, will bear the names of: Imam Muhammad bin Saud, Imam Abdulaziz bin Muhammad, Imam Saud bin Abdulaziz, Imam Abdullah bin Saud, Imam Turki bin Abdullah, Imam Faisal bin Turki, Imam Abdullah bin Faisal, Imam Abdulrahman bin Faisal, King Abdulaziz, King Saud, King Faisal, King Khalid, King Fahd, King Abdullah, and King Salman.
