Mausoleum of Sidi Abderrahmane Et-Thaalibi

The Mausoleum of Sidi Abderrahmane et-Thaâlibi is a zawiya (Mausoleum) located at the lower Casbah of Algiers, Algeria.

[1] It is honoring the memory of the patron saint of the city, Sidi Abderrahman and-Thaâlibi.

[1] Although Sidi Abderrahman et-Thaâlibi died in 1471, it was not until 1611, during the Ottoman rule in Algeria that it was decided to build a qoubba to house the saint's burial.

The fitted qoubba topped with a dome is of the Maghrebi type like those found in Tlemcen or Fez and has similarities with the Saadian tombs, which plan was very popular at the time.
