Rais Palace, Ottoman palace and museum in Casbah of Algiers, Algeria
The Rais Palace extends across four connected palaces and multiple houses along the seafront, covering more than half a hectare of land.
The construction began in 1576 under Ramdan and Mustafa Pasha, serving as residences for maritime commanders during the Ottoman period in Algeria.
The palace exhibits Ottoman architectural elements with faience wall cladding, detailed woodwork, wrought iron bars, and marble features throughout the structure.
Located at 23 Boulevard Amara Rachid, the palace functions as the Centre des Arts et de la Culture, presenting art exhibitions and performing arts events.
The palace contains covered passageways called sabbat, which survived the French colonial period when many marine quarter structures were demolished.
