Ajman Museum is housed in an 18th century fortress that was used as a stronghold for the Emirates leadership and as a first line of defense. The fort was the ruler’s palace and then the Ajman police station. Two wind towers and two watch towers were maintained when the fort was renovated. A large gate and two cannons are located on the front of the fort.
