EDITORS COMMENTS
Oran, a historic coastal city located in the northwestern part of Algeria, is a fascinating blend of ancient and modern influences, rich in cultural and architectural heritage. This photograph showcases two of its most iconic landmarks: Place D'Armes and the Town Hall. The Place D'Armes, or the Arms Square, is a vibrant public space at the heart of Oran's old town. The name is derived from the military parades that once took place here. The square is surrounded by beautiful colonial-era buildings, including the Town Hall, which is a testament to Oran's past as a French colonial settlement. The Town Hall, with its impressive neoclassical architecture, stands proudly at the eastern end of the Place D'Armes. Its grandeur is further accentuated by the tall palm trees lining the square, providing a striking contrast between the European and African influences. The Town Hall has served as the administrative center of Oran since its construction in the late 19th century. This photograph offers a glimpse into the rich history and unique character of Oran, a city that has been shaped by its diverse cultural influences. The Town Hall and Place D'Armes continue to be popular attractions for both locals and visitors, serving as a reminder of the city's past and its ongoing commitment to preserving its heritage.
