About The Casbah of Algiers
The Kasbah is a unique kind of medina, or Islamic city. It stands in one of the finest coastal sites on the Mediterranean, overlooking the islands where a Carthaginian trading-post was established in the 4th century B.C. The Kasbah contains the remains of the citadel, old mosques and Ottoman-style palaces as well as the vestiges of a traditional urban structure associated with a deep-rooted sense of community.
Dans l'un des plus beaux sites maritimes de la Méditerranée, surplombant les îlots où un comptoir carthaginois fut installé dès le IVe siècle av. J.-C., la Casbah constitue un type unique de médina, ou ville islamique. Lieu de mémoire autant que d'histoire, elle comprend des vestiges de la citadelle, des mosquées anciennes, des palais ottomans, ainsi qu'une structure urbaine traditionnelle associée à un grand sens de la communauté.
