House and statue of Mehmed Ali

At the tip of the peninsula, the so-called manor house of Mehmed Ali is a very good example of secular Ottoman architecture of the late 18th century. It belongs to the wide fronted, inward-facing house type with two floors. The ground floor, constructed of stone, has storage spaces and stalls, while on the first floor there are residential areas and hygiene rooms. The house maintains the spatial distinction between men quarters (selamlik) and women quarters (haremlik) as well as original built-in wooden storage spaces and ceiling decorations. Today it houses a museum. South of the house, is the statue of Mohammed Ali by the sculptor Constantine Dimitriadis, who went 
to Egypt and gathered photos, drawings and other items, in order to compose the work. The statue was cast in Paris and presents the founder of the Egyptian dynasty Mehmed Ali (born in Kavala in 1769 and died in Egypt in 1849) on horseback, placing his sword in its sheath as he returns home. A similar statue also exists in Egypt, which again shows him on horseback, but holding his sword aloft in a gesture of glory. The statue was donated by the Greeks of Cairo and Alexandria to King Fuad of Egypt. The surrounding area was designed by the architect of the Royal Court of Egypt.
