    AlgiersAlgeria10th Century

    The Casbah of Algiers is a world-famous UNESCO World Heritage citadel and ancient medina sloping dramatically down toward the Mediterranean Sea. Founded in the 10th century on ancient Phoenician and Roman ruins and heavily fortified during the Ottoman Regency, the Casbah features a dense maze of whitewashed alleyways, steep stone staircases, hidden palaces, and subterranean tunnels. Having endured corsair battles, French colonial conquests, and the harrowing guerrilla warfare of the Battle of Algiers, this ancient citadel is steeped in ghostly lore, stories of wandering spirits, phantom whispers in abandoned Ottoman palaces, and ancestral djinn legends.
