Manasterly Palace
Ottoman palace in Cairo, Egypt
The Manasterly Palace is an Ottoman Baroque palace and grounds in the south western corner on the southern end of Rawda Island on the Nile in Cairo, Egypt. It stands next to the nilometer that dates back to 861 CE.
The one story palace was built in 1851 by Hassan Fouad Pasha al-Manasterly, then Governor of Cairo.[1] Only the public halls (selamlik) of the governor's palace are still standing while his private residence (harem) has been demolished to make way for a water station.[2]
