The Casbah of Algiers, commonly called "the Casbah" (in Arabic القصبة "Citadel") is a historic district of Algiers including the old town a World Heritage Site by UNESCO in 1992. It is located in the municipality of Casbah, Wilaya of Algiers. Founded by the Berbers Zirid Dynasty and enriched by the contributions of other Berber dynasties that have dominated the central Maghreb, it will reach its peak during the period of the Regency of Algiers, where it is the seat of political power. Conquered by the French in 1830 it will be marginalized because the power centers are moved to the new town. At independence of Algeria in 1962, it does not return to its urban center and will remain a marginalized area of the city. It is an example of architecture and urbanism of Arab-Berber medinas, symbol of Algerian culture, object of artistic inspiration and the seat of an ancestral know-how craftsmanship. The medina is threatened by lack of maintenance and interest of its people and the administration, despite its ranking by Unesco. However, local players are struggling to live his tangible and intangible heritage.
