On Saturday, the UN Deputy Special Representative for Libya, Georgette Gagnon, visited Al-Manara Palace in Benghazi, a historic landmark currently undergoing significant restoration.

According to the United Nations Support Mission in Libya (UNSMIL), Gagnon expressed her admiration for the efforts, stating, “I visited the magnificent Al-Manara Palace, one of Benghazi’s historical landmarks, which is being restored for the benefit of all.”

Gagnon highlighted the collaborative efforts of the Benghazi and Derna Reconstruction Fund, the United Nations Development Programme (UNDP), and the Municipality of Benghazi in leading this impressive project. In a video, she toured the palace and remarked on the extensive efforts to restore the building to its original state for the benefit of the people of Benghazi and Libya. “This is a unique historical building that has witnessed many significant events in Libya’s history, and now it is being beautifully restored using original materials,” she said.

Al-Manara Palace is one of Benghazi’s most treasured historical sites, having witnessed numerous significant events in Libya’s history. The restoration aims to preserve the architectural integrity and historical significance of the palace, ensuring it remains a testament to Benghazi’s rich heritage.

The restoration of Al-Manara Palace is being spearheaded by the Benghazi and Derna Reconstruction Fund, in partnership with the UNDP and the Municipality of Benghazi. This collaboration underscores the importance of international support in preserving Libya’s cultural heritage. The use of original materials in the restoration process highlights a commitment to authenticity and historical accuracy, ensuring that the palace retains its original charm and significance.

Benghazi, Libya’s second-largest city, has faced significant challenges in recent years, including extensive damage from conflicts. The restoration of historical sites like Al-Manara Palace is seen as a vital part of the city’s recovery and rebirth. Such efforts not only preserve the city’s history but also promote a sense of pride and identity among its residents. The palace, once restored, is expected to become a major attraction, drawing both locals and tourists and contributing to the city’s cultural and economic revitalization.
