Descripción del sitio
The southern part of Algiers grew from rural farmland to a bustling port after the French captured Algiers in the 1830s. While the city was previously contained in the region of the Casbah, the French occupation expanded the city for quite a few miles as immigration and population of the city increased. This area of the city, having been run by the French, has been kept in good condition and the neglect for the Casbah in the 1950s had lent a hand in the Algerian Revolution.http://worldheritage.heindorffhus.dk/frame-AlgeriaKasbahAlgiers.htm
