It is located approximately 250 metres west of the Great Mosque of Algiers, located near the Archbishop's Palace of Algiers and the National Library of Algeria. The mosque, built during the rule of the Ottoman Empire, was once at the centre of the city. Its strategic location, standing on the first of the Casbah’s stairways which led to the five gates of the city in the aristocratic district where the rich and the famous royal family members of the Ottoman Regency, political prominence and other rich business magnates lived. It was built on the site of an Icosium; the original Phoenician settlement existed at the site of the mosque in the past. The principal entrance to the mosque is through a flight of 23 steps. At the entrance, there is an ornamented portico, which is supported by four black-veined marble columns. Inside the mosque, there are arcades built with white marble columns. The beauty of the mosque's chambers, minarets and ceilings of the mosque are accentuated by the distinct Moorish plaster work. The mosque, which now overlooks the public square in the Casbah, with the sea in front, has two octagonal minarets flanking the entrance, with Byzantine and Moorish design and decorations, presents a graceful sight. Many of the white marble columns belong to the original mosque. There is a tomb with the remains of San Geronimo enshrined in one of the chambers in the mosque. In 2009, the Heritage Department of Algeria planned on carrying out improvements to the octagonal minarets, the central vault of the main fascia and the abutting staircase inside the mosque. These were planned to be completed over a 12 months schedule. While the minaret of Ketchaoua Mosque, which was partially on the brink of partial collapse is now under restoration, plans were developed for implementation, in three stages, including the restoration of the Casbah itself, in more general terms. This plan, launched in September 2008, covers the renovation of several mosques in old Algiers and the conversion of a number of houses into libraries at an initial cost of 300 million Algerian dinars. =========================================== Watch more videos: ►Beni Hammad Fort Destination Spot | Famous Tourist Attractions Places Near Me In M'Sila Algeria: https://goo.gl/BYLn3g ►Djémila Destination Spot | Famous Tourist Attractions Places Near Me In Algiers Algeria: https://goo.gl/s5ATrH ►Casbah of Algiers Destination Spot | Famous Tourist Attractions Places Near Me In Algiers Algeria: https://goo.gl/KCLwYf ►M'zab Destination Spot Famous Tourist Attractions Places Near Me In Ghardaïa Algeria: https://goo.gl/6aaPud ►Timgad Destination Spot | Famous Tourist Attractions Places Near Me In Batna Algeria: https://goo.gl/8fkyyh ►Tipasa Destination Spot | Famous Tourist Attractions Places Near Me In Tipasa Algeria: https://goo.gl/YoiErY ►Tassili n'Ajjer Destination Spot | Famous Tourist Attractions Places Near Me In Tamanghasset Algeria: https://goo.gl/K1qqzG ►Best Tourist Attractions Places To Travel In Algeria | Ketchaoua Mosque Destination Spot - Tourism in Algeria: https://goo.gl/Y4b6mv #tourist #touristattractions #touristplaces #touristspots #touristdestinations #famouslandmarks #touristattractionsnearme #travel
