About

Qasr al-Basha (Arabic: قصر الباشا), also known as Pasha's Palace Museum, Radwan Castle, and Napoleon's Fort, was a historic building in the Old City of Gaza, Palestine. At the time of its destruction, it housed a museum. It served as a seat of power in the Mamluk and Ottoman periods and as a police station during the British Mandate. It was destroyed in the Israeli invasion of Gaza in 2024.
