Algiers, Capital city on Mediterranean coast in Algeria.
Algiers extends along the Bay of Algiers with white buildings cascading down hills toward the Mediterranean Sea, forming a natural amphitheater.
The city originated as a Phoenician trading post in 1200 BC, later growing into a significant port under Roman rule as Icosium.
The Casbah district contains numerous mosques, palaces, and traditional houses with decorated tiles, representing centuries of Mediterranean architectural traditions.
The metro system connects major districts through two lines stretching 18 kilometers, carrying over 300,000 passengers every day.
The Monument of Martyrs, standing 92 meters tall, features three concrete palm leaves that shelter an eternal flame beneath its structure.
