between Glim and San Stefano, along the sea promenade in Alexandria, we find the Aziza hanem Fahmy palace, overlooking its decorations and its vast garden, and its owner in the old days is one of the Daughters of Ali Pasha Fahmy, the chief architect of the royal palace.

It is one of the most important ancient historical buildings in the bride of the sea, attracting the attention of passers-by with its decorations and the fragrance of history emerging from its walls and stones.

The palace is registered in the Heritage Preservation register for more than 50 years the palace is located on the sea Corniche, where Aziza married Mohammed Pasha Rafaat al-ruznamji, who built the palace for her as a resort, and in the past it was located on the north of the palace, the villa of the musician Mohammed Abdul Wahab, and on the right the villa of the Prince of poets Ahmed Shawki, then the palace of Prince Mohammed Ali son of Tawfiq and crown prince King Farouk until he had his son Ahmed Fuad II”.

The palace was built in 1905 by the Italian engineer “grantua”, who himself built the palace of her sister Zeinab Fahmy located in the same area, which has now turned into a museum of royal jewelry under the name “Jewelry Palace”, and it is mentioned that the two palaces are very similar to each other.

The palace is the third largest palace in the land area in Alexandria after the Montazah Palace and Ras El Tin Palace, where it has an area of “acres” and the palace was built on “670” meters of its area only in the “neo-classical” style, an architectural style known in Europe in the 18th century inspired by Greek architecture.

The palace consists of a basement and two floors, each of which has about 4 rooms overlooking a large hall, other than the terrace and the elevator inside the palace.
