العناصر الزخرفية الإسلامية من خلال قصر أحمد باي بمدينة قسنطينة

Architecture is one of the disciplines that fascinated researchers in archeology, and the selection of Ahmed Bey Palace to study it from the artistic and decorative aspect was intentional because the studies that dealt with the subject did not specialize in this field, despite the great decorative diversity that this facility contained.

Ahmed Bey Palace is also one of the most important and uniquely aesthetic facilities in Belek Al Sharq, highlighting the artistic heritage of Constantine as one of the most important Algerian cities rich in the cultural heritage of the Ottoman period. Perhaps the decorative richness and diversity of the palace is the best proof of this. Through studying the decorative elements of Ahmed Bey Palace, we try to get acquainted with the general principles and characteristics of Islamic art while tracing the stages of development of the decorative elements in Islamic architecture and comparing them with what is in the palace.
