The [[Kasbah of Algiers]] is a unique kind of [[medina]], or [[Islam]]ic [[city]], situated on one of the finest coastal sites on the [[Mediterranean Sea]]. Its unusual position on a steep slope led to the development of the winding, narrow streets characteristic of the city. The Kasbah also overlooks the islands where a [[Carthage|Carthaginian]] trading-post was established in the 4th century B.C. The Kasbah contains the remains of the original citadel, old [[mosque]]s and [[Ottoman]] palaces as well as the remnants of traditional urban structures.
