Walk through Algiers by following four buildings that show how history is expressed in defensive, residential, and civic forms. Begin with two castles, then continue to a manor before ending at a prominent public building. Notice how each stop presents a different role for architecture, from protected residence to shared urban landmark. This focused route gives you a clear way to read Algiers through its historic buildings rather than simply pass them by.
