Surrounded by glitzy riads and palaces from the 19th century / early 20th century, most of which have already been renovated, this palace recently appeared on the market and remains among the last of the district.
Real gem of the late 19th century, very well preserved.
Monumental salons with friezes of carved plaster, fine zouaks, original doors (khtaj)…
The architecture in symmetries and oppositions is a perfect balance.
