Djamaa El Djazaïr

The white marble mosque features a 265-meter minaret, expansive prayer halls, and spans across 20 hectares of carefully designed grounds.

Construction of the mosque began in 2012 under President Abdelaziz Bouteflika's mandate and reached completion in 2019 with an investment of 898 million euros.

The mosque contains a Quran school for 300 students, an Islamic art museum, and multiple research facilities dedicated to religious and historical studies.

The religious complex accommodates 120,000 worshippers in its main prayer hall and provides 300 hotel rooms for visitors staying on the premises.

The structure incorporates 618 octagonal columns in the prayer hall and implements specific engineering solutions to withstand seismic activity.
