Ketchaoua Mosque, located in the historic Kasbah of Algiers, is a striking monument that reflects the layered history of the city. Originally built in the Ottoman period, its documented history dates back to 1612, with significant reconstruction by Hasan Pasha in the late 18th century. Converted into St. Philippe Cathedral during French colonial rule in 1838, it was restored as a mosque in 1962 after Algeria gained independence. The mosque's architecture combines Byzantine and Moorish influences, featuring twin minarets, marble columns, and intricate decorations. Beyond its aesthetic appeal, Ketchaoua Mosque stands as a testament to Algiers' resilience and cultural heritage.
