Overview
Embark on an unforgettable journey through Oran, Algeria's vibrant second-largest city, fondly known as "The Joyful." This tour dives deep into Oran's rich history and diverse culture, shaped by Spanish, Ottoman, and French influences. As we stroll through its historic streets, you'll uncover fascinating stories, iconic monuments, and local life. Highlights include the Spanish fort, the old town, and the European side of the city.
Begin at Square 1 November, Oran’s bustling center. Visit Bey's Palace, perched atop Spanish fortifications from 1792, and trace Ottoman history. Wander the old town to discover the Ottoman Pacha's Mosque, Letang Garden, and key French and Spanish squares.
At Place 1 Novembre, explore the Town Hall, Winged Victory statues, and Baroque-style Theater. Witness the Ex-Synagogue, a symbol of Oran's Jewish history, and visit the former Cathedral, now a library, with its Romano-Byzantine style and vibrant mosaics.
Continue to Maghreb Square, home to the Grand Post and Disco Maghreb, a hub of Rai music. Stroll along Boulevard de la Soumam, admiring Haussmannian architecture, and end with a peaceful walk along the seafront, soaking in the Mediterranean breeze.
