ALGIERS, Nov 16 (KUNA) -- The Palace of Dey Hussein, located in the Hussein Dey district east of Algiers, stands as one of the capital's most remarkable landmarks.
Built in 1821 as the Dey's summer residence, the palace overlooks the eastern shoreline, a location that made it his preferred retreat.
The site witnessed several transformations and additions as it stood through Ottoman rule, French occupation and Algeria's independence.
In 1982, it was listed as a national cultural property and subsequently restored by the Algiers authorities.
Dey Hussein, the last Ottoman ruler of Algiers, was born in Izmir in 1773. Trained in Istanbul's military schools, he later rose through the ranks in Algeria, earning wide respect for his piety before being appointed governor in 1818. (end)
