Renaissance Revival Architecture
Renaissance Revival architecture (sometimes referred to as "Neo-Renaissance") is a group of 19th century architectural revival styles which were neither Greek Revival nor Gothic Revival but which instead drew inspiration from a wide range of classicizing Italian modes. Under the broad designation Renaissance architecture nineteenth-century architects and critics went beyond the architectural style which began in Florence and Central Italy in the early 15th century as an expression of Renaissance humanism; they also included styles that can be identified as Mannerist or Baroque. Self-applied style designations were rife in the mid- and later nineteenth century: "Neo-Renaissance" might be applied by contemporaries to structures that others called "Italianate", or when many French Baroque features are present (Second Empire). The divergent forms of Renaissance architecture in different parts of Europe, particularly in France and Italy, has added to the difficulty of defining an ...

Casbah Of Algiers
The Casbah ( ar, قصبة, ''qaṣba'', meaning citadel) is the citadel of Algiers in Algeria and the traditional quarter clustered around it. In 1992, the United Nations Educational, Scientific and Cultural Organization (UNESCO) proclaimed ''Kasbah of Algiers'' a World Cultural Heritage site, as "There are the remains of the citadel, old mosques and Ottoman-style palaces as well as the remains of a traditional urban structure associated with a deep-rooted sense of community."

Palace Of The Dey
A palace is a grand residence, especially a royal residence, or the home of a head of state or some other high-ranking dignitary, such as a bishop or archbishop. The word is derived from the Latin name palātium, for Palatine Hill in Rome which housed the Imperial residences. Most European languages have a version of the term (''palais'', ''palazzo'', ''palacio'', etc.), and many use it for a wider range of buildings than English. In many parts of Europe, the equivalent term is also applied to large private houses in cities, especially of the aristocracy; often the term for a large country house is different. Many historic palaces are now put to other uses such as parliaments, museums, hotels, or office buildings. The word is also sometimes used to describe a lavishly ornate building used for public entertainment or exhibitions such as a movie palace. A palace is distinguished from a castle while the latter clearly is fortified or has the style of a fortification, whereas a pa ...

People's Palace (Algiers)
The People's Palace ( ar, قصر الشعب, french: Palais du Peuple), formerly Palais d'été ("Summer Palace" of the Governor), is a public building in Algiers. It was first built in the Ottoman era, then became the residence of the Governor of French Algeria, and was the seat of government during the first three years of Independent Algeria (1962-1965). Its current appearance dates of the colonial period. The palace is believed to have been first built between 1798 and 1805. It was the country home of Mustapha Khodja el Kheil, a minister of the Dey. It became an army barracks following the French conquest of Algeria, from 1830 to 1846. It was expanded from 1846, and around 1865 was used as the seat of the governor during the summer season. During the winter season, the governor resided in the also known as Dar Hassan Pacha, on the northern side of Saint-Philip Cathedral (now the Ketchaoua Mosque) in the Casbah of Algiers.
