Bey's Palace, Ottoman palace in Sidi al-Houari, Algeria

The palace complex extends over 5.6 hectares and contains a diwan, harem quarters, guard towers, and a central courtyard with adjacent facilities.

Muhammad Bey commissioned the palace in 1792 after the Ottoman forces reclaimed Oran from Spanish control, incorporating existing Marinid structures from 1345.

The palace design follows Ottoman architectural principles with a ship-like layout, featuring red brick construction and sections for public gatherings and private contemplation.

Located on elevated ground near Mount Marjaju, the palace provides views of the port while remaining accessible despite its position within a military zone.

A tunnel system connects the palace directly to the Pasha Mosque, built in 1796 to mark Ottoman military successes in the region.
