Sidi Abderahmane Mosque
The Sidi Abderrahmane mosque was built in 1696-1697. Rarely in the land of Islam, it contains a tomb, that of a holy man, Abderrahmane Thaâlibi. It is in the qoubbâ of the graceful mosque with North African architecture that the patron saint of Algiers, Sidi Abderrahmane Etthaâlibi (real name Ibn Zeïd Ibn Makhlouf Abderrahmane Et Thaâlibi – from the Thaâlba tribe) was buried in 1471. His fever of asceticism, his faith, his culture and his knowledge have preserved for him a place of choice in Algerian hagiography. In the cemetery adjoining the qoubbâ, Sidi Ouali Dada was also buried, this saint who came from the East and who, according to legend, raised the ships of Charles V, thanks to a stroke of a stick in the waves of the sea.
