Built in 1913, this post office is renowned for its exterior façade, large domes, minarets and marble staircase.

Built in 1913, the Grande Poste was intended to mark the displacement of the colonial city center to Laferrière Boulevard, established on the site of the old French-era wall. It is the symbol of the neo-Moorish architectural trend that began in the early 20th century. The exterior façade presents the archetypes of the Moorish style: large domes, minarets, marble staircase, wooden doors. The crowning of the building is composed of green earthenware bands, arches, a tile cornice and a row of merlons.

LE bâtiment incontournable d'Alger, il impressionne par sa majesté, sa belle façade blanche et son architecture unique. Si vous le pouvez, aller voir à l'intérieur, cependant ce n'est ouvert qu'en semaine (dim-jeu).
