At the outset, the Amiri Diwan was known as Al Bidda Fort, which was originally a fortress built and fortified by watchtowers in the 18th century. During the Ottoman presence (1871-1915), the Fortress was known as the military Fort (Qal’at Al-Askar). After the departure of the Ottomans, Sheikh Abdullah bin Jassim, the then Ruler of Qatar at the time restored the fort to become later the seat of rule of Qatar’s Rulers, and to be renamed both as the Doha Palace as well as the Fort of the Sheikhs (Qal’at Al-Shouyoukh). In 1971, after the end of the Anglo-Qatari treaty of 1916, the title of the Ruler of the State of Qatar was changed to Amir, and the Fort was renamed as the Amiri Diwan.
