Built in 1982, the Maqâm Echahid, also called "Houbel" by the Algerians, is a memorial to the martyrs of the Algerian War. The monument is 92 m high and consists of three concrete palms symbolizing the three pillars of the new Algeria: agriculture, industry and culture. The construction of the monument was supposed to mark the shift of the city center to the south. Under the monument is the National Museum of the Moudjahid. A beautiful panorama of the bay and the southern districts can be seen from the balustrade at the top of Omar Kechkar Road.

This place is the reflection of modern Algeria, but is unfortunately not now being rehabilitated place from an obvious lack of maintenance. (grilled onion domes, almost worthless visibility in some places etc...)

Un lieu incontournable d'Alger, par contre, dès qu'on s'approche du flambeau, les gardes nous empêchent d'y accéder pour prendre des photos.
Alors que si vous descendez juste en bas, côté route, des personnes vous font payer la place du parking clandestinement.
