هه No country in North Africa has as much access to the Mediterranean and the Sahara as Algeria. That made it open to many ancient civilizations which made of it one of the richest countries in terms of heritage sites as Tipaza, Djemila, Tassilin'Ajjer, Timgad, the M'zab Valley, and the Qalaa of Banu Hammad.

First, the Tassilin'Ajjer has the most prestige. It has more rock paintings and engravings than any other prehistoric Saharan sites and it contains the most remains of the prehistoric civilizations. They brought as much information as we need to know that the Algerian Sahara was one of the cradles of civilization. It had as few exchanges with the Phoenician and the Roman civilizations as the other Saharan sites. That's why it contains the fewest traces of these ancient civilizations.

In the North of Algeria, the Casbah of Algiers undoubtedly holds the most important position among the historic sites. There is little knowledge about its earliest times, when it was founded by the Phoenicians as one of their trading posts, it was known to the Carthaginians and the Romans as Icosium. Emir Bulughin had rebuilt the town into an important trading port called Al-Jaza'ir until then, Algiers had less influence on international commerce than the other Algerian maritime cities because it had fewer harbors. Therefore, despite the fact that it was considered a trading post by both Phoenicians and Romans, only the least amount of merchandise transited through it.

After the Turkish Baba Aruj brothers had gained control of the city in 1516, Algiers thrived as a relatively independent city under the nominal control of the Ottoman Empire. This was reflected on its architecture by building mosques, palaces similar to those in Asia Minor and erecting the famous white-washed military fortification known as the Casbah the heart of the city of Algiers.
