Abdelhamid Ben Badis Mosque, as its name suggests, was built in honor of Abdelhamid Ben Badis, a famous Algerian figure and noted Islamic reformist. The mosque took over Saint Augustin Church after Algeria gained its independence. Ben Badis was built in the classical Moorish style, with a dome and two tall towers on each side of the structure. Beautiful architectural elements and patterns adorn the building.
