Djamaa el Kebir (Arabic: الجامع الكبير, romanized: djama' el-kebir), also known as the Great Mosque of Algiers (French: Grande mosquée d'Alger), is a historic mosque in Algiers, Algeria. It is located within the Casbah (old city), near the city's harbor. [ 1 ]
The general layout of the mosque is a traditional hypostyle building with a central courtyard. As the mosque's prayer area is aligned with the qibla (direction of Mecca) but the street outside is not, the mosque's external façade has a different alignment from the rest of the structure and the entrance involves a bending passage from the street to the mosque interior.

The mosque has a rectangular floor plan and covered with a roof, while the main prayer area was torn down.
