Sidi Ramdane, Alger
Sidi Ramdane, built in the 11th century, is one of Alger's most ancient mosques. Because of its location and importance to the citadel, it is also called the Mosque of the Old Casbah. The building is very similar to the Djamaa el-Kebir mosque, which is located in the Place of Martyrs. The mosque was once on the verge of collapse, but fortunately the city provided the funds to restore it. Today it is a treasured site for the residents of Alger.
