Montaza Palace, Royal palace in Alexandria, Egypt
The Montaza Palace spans 370 acres of Mediterranean coastline, featuring gardens, forests, and a central tower inspired by the Palazzo Vecchio in Florence.
Khedive Abbas II initiated the construction of this summer residence in 1892 to escape Cairo's heat, later adding the larger Al Haramlik Palace in 1932.
The palace design merges Turkish, Florentine, and Islamic architectural elements, reflecting Egypt's multicultural influences during the late 19th century construction period.
The palace grounds include sports facilities, children's play areas, a summer theater, and public gardens that remain open for visitors throughout the year.
The complex contains two separate palaces: Al Salamlik, originally a hunting lodge, and Al Haramlik, which now functions as a museum of Muhammad Ali dynasty.
