Am left speechless ... this city is truly beautiful ... how did they manage to build in those steep gorges. I'd love to visit Algeria

The giant Roman aqueduct (ruins of Antonian) or the Constantine bridge ? The city has an impressive landscape, many cities do in north Algeria.

what has always puzzled me is that compared to its neighbours tunisia and morocco it is virtually unheard off on the tourist map,even though it is an outstanding country

nice bridge and mosque, and landscape is great too , the only thing that bothers me in those pictures are the ugly big buildings, i wish they could keep it less dense and stick on more classical architectural style. but site is amazing

Wow! absolutely breathtaking. I love that bridge and the Emir Abdelkader Mosque is just beautiful, but it looks rather "new" to me, when was it built?
