Ketchaoua Mosque, situated at the foot of the Casbah in Algiers, Algeria, is a stunning example of Ottoman and Byzantine architecture, originally built in the 17th century. For photo-travelers, its unique blend of architectural styles—such as the horseshoe arches and the intricate stucco work—offers a visual feast. Look for the mosque's striking double minaret and ornate entrance, which provide excellent framing opportunities. Early morning or late afternoon visits will offer the best natural lighting, highlighting the detailed carvings and mosaic tiles. Inside, don't miss the beautifully crafted mihrab and minbar, though be respectful of prayer times. The surrounding Casbah area offers narrow, winding streets with traditional Algerian charm, perfect for capturing the essence of local life.
