Government Palace, Administrative palace in central Algiers, Algeria

The Government Palace stands as a massive complex covering 33,000 square meters, with a prominent facade overlooking Boulevard Mohamed-Khemisti in Algiers.

The building, completed in 1933, marked the centennial of French presence in Algeria and served as the headquarters of French administration until independence in 1962.

The Ibn Khaldun entertainment hall within the palace functions as a venue for national ceremonies and governmental gatherings since its construction in 1929.

The Government Palace currently houses both the office of the Prime Minister of Algeria and the Ministry of Interior and Local Communities.

General Charles de Gaulle delivered his famous speech Je vous ai compris from the palace balcony during the political crisis of May 1958.
