This residence would have been built by Hassan Pasha in 1791 at the same time as the Ketchaoua mosque. This palace has excellent decoration and architectural designs. After the death of Hassan Pasha, the palace was inherited by his niece, Princess Nefissa. After 1830, the palace was integrated into public property and became the residence of the governors of Algeria, taking the name Winter Palace.
