Algeria

Amazing how the rocks were squared for building.  Water tanks lay scattered among the ruins left on the hillside

The view of the surrounding hillsides from Tiddis.

We visited the Mosque of Emir Abdelkader with its twin minarets.

It is the second largest mosque in Algeria.

Laying on the floor inside to take this photo of the coupole of the mosque.

The inside can accommodate 10,000 per service.  The women have a separate room for them to pray.

The outside area I read can accommodate an additional 15,000 for prayer.

The side entrance with its lattice work on the arches and entrance doors, twin minarets stand out with the blue sky of Constantine.
