Medresa Thaalibiya, Algiers 

This fine medresa and mosque was built in 1904 by French architect Henry Petit in beautiful harmonic neo-moorish style. It is named after marabout (patron saint of the city) Sidi Abd-er- rahman-et-Thalbi (1387-1471), hence the Thaalibiya name. It has served as a school of islamic law,  general islamic school for muslim children and as a mosque.
The view with the sea and white multistoreyed appartement houses with blue windows is the essence of Algiers to me.
Notre Dame d'Afrique, also known as “Madame Afrique” or “Lella Myriam” is located in the Z'Ghara district. It stands 124 meters above sea level in the western districts of Algiers. The basilica was completed in 1872 after 14 years of work, it is the work of the French architect Jean Eugène Fromageau.
Its symbolic and religious importance can be summed up by the inscription on the apse: Notre Dame d'Afrique priez pour nous et pour les Musulmans ("Our Lady of Africa, pray for us and for the Muslims")

Could not begin to count the number of cockroaches that we killed during our stay. Door to the balcony was secure shut, so you could not get fresh air or natural light. Breakfast is skipable (bad coffee & an overcooked pastry). Good location near the metro, rooms have AC.

The room is on the fourth floor of a new building at the hotel RALF, offering a lovely view of the bay of Algiers. Breakfast was excellent, and the room was very clean and comfortable. Shops and historic landmarks are just a short walk away.
