The Kasbah of Algiers, a UNESCO World Heritage site in Algeria, recognized in 1992, is a historic citadel in Algiers, built from the 10th century under Berber dynasties and reshaped by Ottoman rule. Its labyrinth of narrow streets, whitewashed houses, mosques, and palaces reflects a unique blend of Islamic and Mediterranean architecture. This site showcases Algeria’s cultural heritage, preserving a vibrant urban tapestry of medieval and colonial influences overlooking the sea.
