Dar Hassan Pacha, 18th-century palace in Casbah of Algiers, Algeria
The palace exhibits a combination of Moorish architecture and Gothic Revival styles, with intricate tile work adorning its facades and traditional courtyards.
Built in 1791 for Hassan III Pasha, the palace transformed into the winter residence of the French governor following the occupation of 1830.
The building houses numerous illuminated manuscripts and contemporary calligraphy works from artists across North Africa and the Middle East.
The palace stands within the UNESCO World Heritage Site of the Casbah, requiring preservation efforts due to structural concerns.
Hassan Pacha, the original owner, signed a peace treaty with the United States in 1795 to ensure safe passage for American ships.
