Bey's Palace

Bey's Palace (Arabic: قصر الباي‎) is a historic palace in Oran, Algeria dating back to the Ottoman era. It was a residence of the ruler who belonged to the Western Baylik. The palace is situated in Sidi al-Houari, near the mount Marjaju, and it is categorized as a national heritage. The palace was built in 18th century, commissioned by Muhammad Bey the Great.[1] The palace has an area size of around 5.6 hectare. It consists of diwan (public room), suite, harem, two guard towers which date back to 1345 during the Marinid era, barracks (which were used as a horse stable as well by both Ottomans and French), courtyard, and several other adjacent facilities. Today it is a favorite spot for tourists both domestic and foreign.[2]

gollark: <@205756960249741312> Does CraftOS-PC have anything like the CCEmuX feature where it can render to TRoR (the terminal redirection over rednet protocol)? Me and Rph had an idea which would need some way to run emulated CC computers headlessly and stream their output/input to/from elsewhere somehow.
gollark: A friend of mine was suspended for "hacking the CCTV system" or something. Apparently the control thing for them was accessible on the network and had the default password set.
gollark: At my school I discovered that they had keyloggers in place and detected some words you typed. By typing some stereotypical terroristy keywords into an empty document (not saving it, obviously). I explained that I had done it randomly and not really expected anything to happen and they just complained about how I had apparently wasted 45 minutes of people's time as they dealt with this grave issue.
gollark: windows good, linux bad
gollark: It can come shipped with a recipe book, and a browser extension to replace "meat" with "EVIL" or something.
