Mosquée El Oumma, Moorish mosque in Bologhine, Algeria

The Mosquée El Oumma exhibits geometric patterns, arched windows, and a central dome that extends across multiple levels of the structure.

Construction of the mosque began in 1945 and ended in 1951 under architect Abderrahmane Bouchama, marking the first mosque built in Algiers after French colonization.

The mosque houses a Quranic school with three classrooms where students learn Arabic language and Islamic teachings throughout the academic year.

Regular prayer services occur five times daily, with additional community gatherings taking place during Ramadan and Islamic celebrations.

The Association Tahthibiya, composed of Muslim dignitaries from Bologhine, managed the entire construction project on land formerly owned by Jean-Charles Gilbert.
