The Archaeological Front of the Shlif Province

The Minaret is the first and largest minaret.

The one built in #Algeria during the colonial period in 1861, and still standing today, illuminating the route of ships across the Mediterranean Sea and prominently visible from the summit of Mount Sidi Mrouan.

This site holds significant archaeological, architectural, and historical value, featuring a unique architectural design and ranking among the most important lighthouses in Algeria as a tangible witness to the city's maritime heritage. It occupies a distinguished and strategic position among all lighthouses along the Mediterranean coast, constructed on a massive vertical limestone rock mass, white chalkstone, located in the Sidi Mrouan area, near the archaeological caves of Ras Tens.
