| Abstract | ||
| Islamic architecture is perhaps one of the most significant and oldest art forms known to the world. Islamic art emerged in the 7th century AH (9th century AD) and grew until it reached a youthful stage in the 3rd and 4th centuries, then began to weaken from the 18th century after Western art influenced Muslims. Naturally, the architectural styles in the vast Islamic Empire were not of a single architectural style over the long centuries during which Islamic art flourished. They differ and are distinguished from one another in each region during different eras. Architectural structures vary in the materials of construction itself, in the types of geometric, floral, and calligraphic decorations, in the types of columns and their capitals, arches, and muqarnas, as well as in the materials used to cover the walls, such as plaster and tiles. The types of Islamic architecture are numerous, and this research will focus on the study of palaces as a type of Islamic architecture. The city of Minia has several palaces with distinctive styles dating back to the 19th and 20th centuries. The researcher will shed light on one of these palaces located in the center of Beni Mazar, which has suffered from much neglect and damage. This paper aims to highlight the importance of these palaces and attempt to preserve them in their best form, study and publish archaeological palace for the first time, clarify the artistic styles and architectural elements that appeared in the palaces of northern Minia during that period. This research is based on both descriptive and analytical to accomplish the paper’s objectives. | ||
