Casbah of Dellys

[1] During the early Muslim conquests, the kasbah was conquered by the Umayyad commander Musa bin Nusayr in 707.

[2] In the 17th century, the kasbah was expanded following the acceptance of one thousand Muslim families from Andalucia who were expelled by the Spanish Inquisition following the decree by Philip III of Spain in 1609.

The street was laid by the French occupational administration in 1844, at the expense of many Ottoman-era houses being demolished.

As a compensation, Al-Islah Mosque was constructed in the similar architectural style by the French administration in 1847.

[1][3] There are few remains of Phoenician-era buildings mostly in land, and this is due to Phoenicians concentrated their population center near the port.

On the western border, it is parted by Bab al-Aswaf gate and the Mausoleum of Sidi Mansour.
