Walk through Oran’s layered character, from the Palais du Bey and the old quarters to the seafront, civic spaces, places of worship and hilltop fortifications. Along the way, look for the contrasts between stone defenses, lively public squares, religious buildings and broad views over the city and coast. The route brings Oran’s past into focus without losing sight of its everyday streets and creative communities. It is a personal introduction to Oran as a city shaped by the sea, the hills and many overlapping histories.
