context_page_description: The architecture of Algeria encompasses a diverse history influenced by a number of internal and external forces, including the Roman Empire, Muslim conquest of the Maghreb, French colonization, and movements for Algerian independence.
context_section_description: In 1518 the Ottoman Empire gained control of Algeria. Under Ottoman rule, a hybrid style developed influenced by traditional Turkish styles, including central-plan mosques and glazed tile panels.
  Ottoman architecture was largely limited to the Algerian coast and, in particular, the regional capital of Algiers.
  Among the most notable examples of Ottoman architecture in Algeria is Djamaa el Djedid in Algiers.
