Palace of Ahmed Bey

This nineteenth-century palace in Constantine was built by the last Ottoman bey of the province and is prized for its painted galleries and lush interior gardens. Arranged around courtyards planted with orange trees and cooled by fountains, its walls carry rare panoramic murals depicting the bey's pilgrimage across the region. Marble columns and carved woodwork reflect craftsmanship imported from across the Mediterranean. Now open as a museum, it preserves a rare, complete example of pre-colonial aristocratic architecture.
