This architectural masterpiece is the remaining part of a development built by Hassan Fouad Al Manasterly Pasha in 1851 A.D./267A.H. The palace consists of a main rectangular hall that directly opens to the outside through a door in the southeastern wall preceded by a four-step marble case. The second hall is located to the west of the main hall. It has been divided into three halls. A terrace overlooking the Nile surrounds the building from the west and intersects in the end with the southwestern terrace. The palace is hailed for its splendid ornamented ceilings of various wooden architecture designs: Leveled ceilings, dome or semi-dome ceilings. The ceilings are internally covered with plaster and garnished with colored ornaments. The walls and ceilings of the palace are garnished with colored greenery ornaments and some birds figures. The influence of the Ottoman rococo is quite obtrusive especially in the buildings of that period which is a European impact.
