La Calère, Former maritime district in Oran, Algeria

La Calère stretches across four hectares of coastal land, divided into upper and lower sections near the old port of Oran.

Originally named Scalera during Spanish rule, this fishing quarter flourished until 1980 when deteriorating buildings led to its demolition.

The district contained a Spanish fountain from 1789 and housed the AS Marine d'Oran football club, which won the North African Championship in 1921.

The area requires specific construction standards due to its location on active fault lines and water drainage challenges near the Mediterranean coast.

The site features a distinct Mediterranean topography with an abrupt coastal edge rising to a plateau at 110 meters above sea level.
