Destruction of the columns confirms that the Hadhramaut region was undergoing an economic prosperity owing to the spread of grape cultivation in large areas under the climatic conditions different from the current ones. </p><p>Seiyun during the <a href="/wiki/Islamic" class="mw-redirect" title="Islamic">Islamic</a> period emerged as a village in the era of the <a href="/wiki/Rashidun_Caliphate" title="Rashidun Caliphate">Rashidun Caliphate</a>. It was administratively part of the city of Tarim. This was the case during the <a href="/wiki/Umayyad" class="mw-redirect" title="Umayyad">Umayyad</a> period as well. In 708, it became administratively affiliated with the city of Shibam. The son of Haritha led the revolution in 1179 but it gained its autonomy only in the year 1501 when it became the capital of the valley in the era of Badr Abu Tuwairq (1501-1556), where an administrative unit consisting of a <a href="/wiki/Sultanate" class="mw-redirect" title="Sultanate">sultanate</a> that extended from Ain Ba to the west of the city of <a href="/wiki/Dhofar" class="mw-redirect" title="Dhofar">Dhofar</a> was founded. In the 18th-century, Yafa conquered the cities of Hadhramaut and took over many parts of Seiyun, where the state was established. In 1852, it became the capital of the <a href="/wiki/Kathiri" title="Kathiri">State of Kathiri</a> (<a href="/wiki/Aden" title="Aden">Aden</a>-Kathiri) which was within the British <a href="/wiki/Aden_Protectorate" title="Aden Protectorate">Aden Protectorate</a> (1869 - 1963). Its fortified fortress, the Sultan's Palace, was the seat of Sultan al-Kathiri. <a href="/wiki/Postage_stamp" title="Postage stamp">Postage stamps</a> from the Sultanate were sometimes inscribed "Kathiri State of Seiyun."

It then developed to include other buildings, and a wall was built around it during the reign of Sultan Badr Abi Tuwairq in the year 922 AH. This wall remained until the year 1347 AH. </p><p>Regarding the buildings, in the 7th century AH, they were confined to Shaharah - Al-Sahil until the 8th century AH. The cemetery of the city was established in the 7th century outside the city in the eastern direction. Taha ibn Umar later acquired a piece of land far from the city and built a mosque (Taha Mosque), but there were no other architectural features. In the 10th century AH, the urbanization expanded due to its status as the capital of the Kathiri Sultanate during the reign of Sultan Badr Abi Tuwairq (922-977 AH). In the year 1120 AH, Ali ibn Abdullah Al-Sqaf obtained a piece of desert land in the tribal district and built a mosque on it. The urbanization continued in the 14th century when Abu Bakr bin Salim Al-Saban acquired a piece of desert land in Wadi Jatham and built a mosque on it. The Seiyun Mosque was built in the 9th century AH to accommodate this development. In the 14th century, the mosque was rebuilt as a Friday mosque, and there are four mosques in Seiyun where Friday prayers are held: Al-Jami Mosque, Taha Mosque, Al-Qarn Mosque, and Basalam Mosque. The oldest of them is the Al-Jami Mosque in Seiyun, which was the only mosque where Friday prayers were held. </p> <div class="mw-heading mw-heading2"><h2 id="City_Landmarks">City Landmarks</h2><span class="mw-editsection"><span class="mw-editsection-bracket">[</span><a href="/w/index.php?title=Seiyun&action=edit&section=6" title="Edit section: City Landmarks"><span>edit</span></a><span class="mw-editsection-bracket">]</span></span></div> <p>There are many ancient landmarks in Seiyun, the most prominent of which are: </p> <div class="mw-heading mw-heading3"><h3 id="Seiyun_Museum_Palace">Seiyun Museum Palace</h3><span class="mw-editsection"><span class="mw-editsection-bracket">[</span><a href="/w/index.php?title=Seiyun&action=edit&section=7" title="Edit section: Seiyun Museum Palace"><span>edit</span></a><span class="mw-editsection-bracket">]</span></span></div> <p>The <b>Kathiri Palace</b>, also known as the "Dawil Palace," is located in the center of Seiyun, making it one of the most prominent landmarks in the city and all of Hadhramaut. It is considered one of the most magnificent mud-brick architectural masterpieces. </p><p>This palace was initially established as the residence of the Sultan during the reign of Sultan Badr bin Abdullah bin Jafar Al Kathiri, famously known as "Abu Tuwairq" (922-977 AH). This indicates that the palace existed before the reign of Sultan Abu Tuwairq, who made it his official residence and added a mosque to it. He also renovated the palace and expanded it. The Sultan Abu Tuwairq, who emerged during a period of bloody conflicts that engulfed most of the territories of Hadhramaut, managed to occupy most of these territories, including Shahr. </p><p>In the year 1125 AH, Omar bin Jafar Al Kathiri renewed the construction of the palace. In 1272 AH, Ghalib bin Muhsin Al Kathiri arrived in Seiyun and made it the capital of his rule. He used the Dawil Palace as his ruling headquarters and renovated it. Later, his son Mansour bin Ghalib bin Muhsin Al Kathiri continued the construction of the palace in the period between 1355-1357 AH, adding adornments and making expansions, including the construction of the Al-Aqra, which is the entrance leading to the palace, and building a large hall in the façade and its surroundings. The palace remains in the same state until now. </p><p>Recently, part of the palace has been utilized as a museum, which was inaugurated in 1983. The museum houses ancient artifacts collected from various sites in Wadi Hadhramaut, including those excavated from the Ribat site. It also features sections dedicated to folk heritage and historical documents, including those related to the Kathiri Sultanate when Seiyun served as its capital. Additionally, part of the palace has been designated as an administration office for the Ministry of Culture. A theater was also built on the southeast side of the palace in 1982, accommodating over 5000 spectators. </p> <div class="mw-heading mw-heading3"><h3 id="Seiyun_Olympic_Stadium">Seiyun Olympic Stadium</h3><span class="mw-editsection"><span class="mw-editsection-bracket">[</span><a href="/w/index.php?title=Seiyun&action=edit&section=8" title="Edit section: Seiyun Olympic Stadium"><span>edit</span></a><span class="mw-editsection-bracket">]</span></span></div> <p>Seiyun Olympic Stadium is one of the largest stadiums in Yemen and the largest in Hadhramaut, capable of accommodating over 35,000 spectators. </p> <div class="mw-heading mw-heading3"><h3 id="Qarat_Al-Ar">Qarat Al-Ar</h3><span class="mw-editsection"><span class="mw-editsection-bracket">[</span><a href="/w/index.php?title=Seiyun&action=edit&section=9" title="Edit section: Qarat Al-Ar"><span>edit</span></a><span class="mw-editsection-bracket">]</span></span></div> <p>Qarat Al-Ar houses an ancient fortress mentioned in the year 616 AH when it was cited by historians as the place where Sultan Abdullah bin Rashid Al Qahtani was imprisoned and killed.
