Mascara, Administrative capital in northern Algeria
Mascara sits at an elevation of 590 meters, featuring two distinct sections that include the Muslim quarter and the French colonial district.
The Ottoman Empire established a military garrison in Mascara in 1701, settling Andalucian Muslims who contributed to the early development of the city.
The architectural heritage of Mascara displays centuries of influence from Berber, Ottoman, and French periods, with remnants of ancient ramparts still visible.
The city maintains strong transportation links via road and rail networks to major centers including Oran, Saida, Sidi Bel Abbes, and Relizane.
Mascara operates as a major wine production center in Algeria, alongside its trade activities in leather goods, grains, and olive oil.
