On Friday January 13, 2017, I traveled to Mansourah city in order to discover the forgotten Egyptian heritage.
According to the direct observation analysis and UNESCO world heritage nomination criteria, Mansourah city has high significant cultural, aesthetics, and historical values and a rich�history that embodies in Mansourah tangible heritage. Unfortunately, there are high human-induced impacts on some buildings such as�el-Mahalawy Pasha Palace.
Unfortunately, due to the modern negative attitude towards the�cultural heritage buildings and high economic pressures, the owners of this palace deliberately burnt it in order to sell its land to a few�investors.
This palace is available for sale. It is distinguished by it unique Gothic�structure. It needs a rapid risk management and architectural conservation plan.
There are other heritage buildings that date back�to the Khedive period, but it is accommodated by governmental and security entities.
Therefore, as a heritage lover, I appeal heritage guardians to safeguard this�forgotten heritage in Mansourah city, Egypt.
