The Casbah
 
The Casbah of Algiers or the Citadelhas today been declared a UNESCO World Heritage Site. This medina or Islamic city which is built on hill overlooking the Mediterranean Sea was founded on the ruins of the old Phoenician trading post, Ikosim. The picturesque Casbah is home to many mosques and it consists of many winding lanes that are populated by old stately homes. Further the Casbah is divided into the High City and the Low City and some of its important landmarks include the Ketchaoua mosque which was built in 1794 by the Dey Baba Hassan, the mosque el Djedid( the New Mosque) which was built in 1660 and bears a distinct Turkish style and the El Kébir Mosque( the Grand Mosque) which is considered to be the oldest mosque in Algiers.
 
The Martyr's Memorial
 
This memorial which is located at a distance of 3 km from the city center is a big open square which has within its environs a towering concrete monument that commemorates the Algerian war of Independence. The monument was inaugurated in 1982 on the 20th Anniversary of the war of independence.
 
Notre Dame d’ Afrique
 
This Roman Catholic Church which was inaugurated in 1872 is widely regarded to be the most outstanding attraction in Algiers. The church which took fourteen years to build was designed by the renowned French architect Fromageau.
