The white casba d'Alger is the old city or fort built before the times of the Ottoman Empire, people and families still live in large communal houses called RYADs, which have a large court in the middle generally with a foutain and have trees growing in the middle of it, with 1,2 or 3 bedroom flast springing out of the coridors! absolutely beautiful Islamic renaissance architeture!
What a fantastic place! I love history and Kasbah of Algiers is one of the places i will never forget. It was a great experience.

La Casbah d'Alger or the old citadel is the old city from the Ottoman (Turkish) empire, its very old and dates back to the 1800's, houses are crumbling and corridors are narrow, there is a museum there.
The Casbah is a world heritage protected site and you'll need a guide to venture inside or you'll get lost...I did some painting ...
Turkish old town at the mediterranian city.. Next time I would like to bring with me more friends to share this emotion.. You are also invited any time with me!
