The Barrack of Orleans in Casbah, Algiers: A Glimpse into the Past This evocative photograph captures the Barrack of Orleans in the heart of Casbah, the fortified citadel of Algiers, during the early 1910s. The image offers a captivating glimpse into the rich history and cultural tapestry of Algeria in North Africa. The Barrack of Orleans, also known as the Orleans Barracks, was a significant military installation during the French colonial rule of Algeria. Constructed in the late 19th century, the barracks served as a base for the French army, housing soldiers and their families. The building's imposing architecture, with its red-tiled roofs and tall, arched windows, stands proudly amidst the lush greenery of the surrounding trees. The Casbah, a UNESCO World Heritage Site, is a labyrinthine network of narrow, winding streets and ancient fortifications that have stood since the 13th century. This historic district, located on a hill overlooking the Mediterranean Sea, has long been a melting pot of diverse cultures, including Arab, Berber, Turkish, and European influences. The photograph's composition skillfully balances the contrasting elements of the military installation and the natural beauty of the Casbah. The trees, their branches reaching out towards the camera, provide a sense of tranquility and respite from the military presence. The juxtaposition of the modern barracks and the ancient fortifications highlights the complex and intriguing history of Algiers and its people. This photograph, from The Roseries Collection at Mary Evans Picture Library, offers a unique perspective on a bygone era and serves as a reminder of the enduring allure of Algeria's vibrant past.
