Imam el-Houari Mosque, Ottoman mosque in Oran, Algeria.
The rectangular mosque contains a central square prayer hall with a courtyard surrounded by walls and features a fountain with garden areas.
Built after the Spanish expulsion from Oran in 1792, Bay Muhammad ben Osman al-Kabir commissioned this mosque as a family burial site.
The mosque maintains separate entrances for men and women, following Islamic traditions while serving the local Muslim community through daily prayers.
Located 1.5 kilometers east of central Oran near the northern marine port, the mosque remains open for five daily prayer times.
During French colonization in 1832, the religious building transformed into living quarters and a livestock stable before returning to its original purpose.
