Mosquée du Bey Mohamed el-Kébir, Ottoman mosque in Oran, Algeria.
The Mohamed el-Kebir Bey Mosque stands on Tripoli Boulevard, featuring traditional Islamic architectural elements and a prominent minaret visible from multiple locations.
Built in 1792 under the direction of Bey Mohamed el-Kebir, the mosque initially stood outside the city walls before becoming integrated into Oran's expanding urban landscape.
The mosque represents a blend of Ottoman and North African architectural styles, displaying intricate decorative patterns and Islamic calligraphy throughout its structure.
The religious site maintains regular prayer times and offers guided tours to visitors, with access available through the main entrance on Tripoli Boulevard.
The mosque survived a planned demolition in 1893 when the Muslim community successfully intervened to protect it from being replaced by a new boulevard.
