Dar Hassan Pacha

Dar Hassan Pacha

Located within the Casbah of Algiers, this 18th-century palace was built in 1791 as the residence of a pasha. It later served as the winter residence for the French governor and underwent remodeling in 1839. Visitors go here to see the architectural transition between Ottoman and French colonial styles in a residential setting.

Getting There

The palace is situated in the historic Casbah district. From the Algiers city centre, it is accessible via a short taxi ride or a walk. Depending on the starting point in the centre, the journey typically takes 10 to 20 minutes.

Visit Duration

Allow approximately 1 to 2 hours to walk through the palace grounds and view the interior rooms and courtyards.

When to Visit

The palace is best visited during the morning or late afternoon to avoid the midday heat, particularly during the summer months. Like many sites in the Casbah, it can become crowded during peak tourist seasons or public holidays.
