About Algiers

Algiers rises in white terraces above a wide Mediterranean bay, with an Ottoman-era Casbah, French colonial boulevards and a vast modern mosque.

Algiers is the capital and largest city of Algeria, built on steep hills that fall to the sea. Its old quarter, the Casbah, is a UNESCO World Heritage Site of stepped lanes and courtyard houses, with the Ketchaoua Mosque near its foot. Below it, boulevards from the French period face the harbour, and the Grande Poste, a white building in Neo-Moorish style, is one of the best-known landmarks.
