Al-Meshwar is the old castle built by Sultan Yaghmrassen bin Zayan the founder of the Zayyanid Dynasty (1282-1234/1235) in 1145 AD., in the south of Tlemcen, and later turned into an official residence for Banu Abd al-Wad, the kings of Tlemcen. Originally, the castle contained four main palaces; Dar al-Malik, Dar Abu Fahr, Dar al-Surur and Dar al-Raha. The castle was surrounded by the wall reaching five meters with path for soldiers on top. The castle contained different suites for kings depending on the season. The summer suite was built by marble which cooled down the temperature, while the winter room was made of stones which made the suite warm throughout the winter. Inside the summer suite was the secret alley to the adjacent mosque, which used by the kings during the prayer time in order to move between the mosque and the palace unseen from the public. The alley could accommodate horses. The entire wall of the suites and palace was decorated, inscribing one sentence repeatedly which wrote "The splendor of God...the king that is in God". Aside from the mosque, the castle contained hamam, houses and Islamic gardens. Mohamed El-Tunsi talks about strange buildings, very tall suites, and lush gardens. Al-Idrisi also refers during the 16th century to the magnificent architecture of the buildings.

(Translated by Google) Al-Mashwar Palace: Yaghmrassen Bin Zayyan built the Al-Mashour Palace and his age in the early thirteenth century upon his departure from the Almoravid palace, which was parallel to the Great Mosque. Al-Tansi described his great houses and lush gardens. Including the French in 1843 they demolished him and took him as a camp, but they left a beautiful short silo indicating that the palace had a mosque. (Original) قصر المشور: بنى يغمراسن بن زيان قصر المشور وعمره أوائل القرن الثالث عشر عند مغادرته القصر المرابطي الذي كان موازيا للجامع الأعظم، فقد وصف التنسي منازله الجليلة وحدائقه النضرة، هدم بعض حجراته باي الجزائر، إثر ثورة قام بها التلمسانيون على الحاكمين، ثم قضى على مابقي منها الفرنسيون سنة 1843 هدموه واتخذوه معسكرا إلا أنهم تركوا صومعة قصيرة جميلة تدل على أنه كان للقصر مسجدا .
