Mechouar Palace (Arabic: قصر المشور) or the Zianide Royal Palace is the former official residence of the Zayyanid dynasty in the city of Tlemcen, Algeria. The palace is situated in the middle of the city, and used to be part of the greater Mechouar Citadel (Arabic: قلعة المشور) of which the historic defensive walls are the only major element preserved.[1] During the Zayyanid period, the palace consisted of multiple buildings and courtyard residences. One of these courtyard structures was completely rebuilt in 2010–2011 over its former ruins and is accessible today.[2]: 138–144 The nearby mosque, Mechouar Mosque, no longer exist on its original form as well except for its minaret.[1] It was one of the main sights during the selection of Tlemcen as the Capital of Islamic Culture in 2011.[3][4]
