Terraces of the Kasbah of Algiers
The Casbah of Algiers was inscribed on the World Heritage List at the 16th session of the Committee in December 1992. The area comprising the Casbah itself (fortress) and the entire old town of el-Djazaïr located between this fort and the seaside is commonly called 'Casbah'. In 1516, the Turkish corsair Khaïr al-Din established his capital in Algiers. He made it a fortified city by building imposing ramparts, which were the origin of the Casbah. Six gates provide a connection between the old town, the port and the rest of the country. The growth of the city is reflected in the development of built spaces, particularly two-story houses. Even if, at the time, the Ottomans were present along a large part of the Algerian coast, the Turkish power intervened little in the local affairs of Algiers. Bey Khair al-Din made the city prosper by combining military force and the development of trade. The city was prosperous until the 17th century. In the city, Turkish and Arab traditions combine.
