Across Sana’a, monuments pay hommage to the history of both the capital city and of Yemen. There are not a high number of monuments to be found in the city, not even in the country as a whole, and what has been built is routinely subject to negligence and misuse.

The monuments are often exposed to trash, lengthy and messy qat sessions and posters. Relevant authorities pay little attention to the beautification of these landmarks, ensuring they remain dirty and unkempt.
