CASBAH, ALGERIA

Situated on a hill, the Casbah is an impressive sight. This must-see for visitors to Algiers is made up of a collection of architecture, including houses, palaces and mosques, many of which date back to the Ottomon period. 

As well as the Ketchaoua Mosque, built in the 18th century, there are also plenty of narrow alleys and picturesque houses to admire. The Casbah is divided into two areas - an upper and a lower town. Its labyrinthine layout means that it is easy to lose oneself, so it is advisable to visit with a guide or as part of a tour, to make the most of your time in this fascinating place. In 1992, the Casbah became a UNESCO World Heritage Site, with plans to renovate many of its crumbling buildings.
