Abstract:
The theme of architecture during the Ottoman era in general, and civil architecture in Algeria
in particular, is of considerable importance in the field of archaeological and architectural
research. Accordingly, we study through this research the remaining civil constructions attributed
to one of the most important beys of Oran, the Bey Mustapha Bouchlagham El-Misrati, the first to
liberate Oran from the Spanish occupation, which ruled Oran for nearly a quarter of a century. Our
study of these constructions is an archaeological study in the first place that depends mainly on the
field side and the descriptive approach. For the first time, we deal in detail with the achievements
of Bey Bouchlagham in the architectural field, particularly with regard to the Bey's palace in the
Casbah and his residence and the bath adjoining his palace. As a result, these constructions did not
differ in their architectural and artistic characteristics from their counterparts in the rest of the
cities of Algeria during the same period
