El Rahman Mosque, Ottoman mosque in Cherchell, Algeria.
El Rahman Mosque occupies a central position in Cherchell with its white walls and architectural elements incorporating Roman columns from earlier structures.
The construction of El Rahman Mosque in 1574 marked the transformation of a Christian cathedral into an Islamic prayer site during the Ottoman period.
The mosque retains visible traces of Roman architectural influence through its columns and structural elements, demonstrating the evolution of sacred spaces.
Visitors need to remove shoes before entering the mosque and women must cover their heads, arms, and legs when accessing the prayer areas.
The building contains structural elements from three distinct religious periods: a Roman temple, a Christian cathedral, and an Islamic mosque.
