This building was originally built as a mosque in 1612, then converted to a church in 1845 after the French had invaded Algiers. After the war for independence Ketchaoua had been converted back into a mosque and is one of the most prominent mosques in the Casbah. While its basic architectural style is that of a Medieval mosque, there are traces of both Christian and contemporary Islamic aesthetics as well.http://www.samasafia.dz/carte%20d'alger.gifhttp://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Algiers
