Amir Taz Palace
The Amir Taz Palace is a palace in Cairo, Egypt.[1] It is situated on the intersection of Saliba Street and Suyufiyya Street, and forms the main entrance to Medieval Cairo.
The palace was originally built in 1352 by a Mamluk belonging to one of Sultan Qalawun's sons.[citation needed] The palace of Emir Taz was subsequently remodelled several times, most notably in the 17th century, during the reform of the Khedive Ismail. In the 19th century, it became a girl's school, and has then been used as a storage depot by the Ministry of Education.
Recently,[when?] the palace has undergone major renovations, and is now open for touristic visits in the morning, with a new area that includes exhibitions of the palace's property.[citation needed] At night, the palace hosts an Egyptian television show called "Al-Kasr".[citation needed]
