Home Β» Algeria Β» The alleys of the Kasbah of Algiers. Algiers is an enchanting city. Its eclectic style is immediately apparent in a stratification of eras that have left their mark. It is difficult to describe this Mediterranean and exotic Paris, which among the elegant 19th-century palaces, whitewashed with lime and decorated with wrought iron, preserves its Arab identity, recalling distant echoes of epic Barbary corsairs.
Algiers La Blanche, perched on sloping heights, opens up in a continuous up and down as far as the port built on a wide crescent-shaped bay. It dominates the bay at the top of the hill and it was here that the Ottomans, Barbarossa and Suleiman the Magnificent, ruled and organised their wars against Spain. In its intricate maze of steep alleyways, arches, squares, hidden corners, stairways, craft shops, fountains and tumbledown buildings, you can breathe in all the charm of a timeless atmosphere.
The ancient mosques and historic 17th-century residences almost act as a hinge between the old city and the new one, the 19th-century Algiers, built in the lower part by the French. Copyright Kanaga Adventure Tours S. Facebook Instagram Youtube Whatsapp. The alleys of the Kasbah of Algiers.
