Built to mark the 20th anniversary of Algeria's independence (1982), it symbolizes three major revolutions in industry, land and culture, and is shaped into three slanted palm leaves. Designed by Poles, the tower is 92 meters high and has a viewing layer on top overlooking the port of Algiers and the Mediterranean Sea.
The Monument to the Unknown Soldier is a monument to the 20th anniversary of Algerian independence. It is located on the Hama Mountain in the Madanija region at an altitude of 127 meters, with one side facing the rippling Mediterranean Sea. The monument was designed by Poles. Its tower is 92 meters high. The entire tower is shaped like three palm leaves that stand obliquely from the outside to the inside. It is said to symbolize the three revolutions of industry, land and culture, so it is called the Three-Leaf Tower. The three leaves meet at a height of 45 meters. There are 5 floors above the intersection, 4 of which are used for communication, and the first floor is for visitors, overlooking the Bay of Algiers and the entire city of Algiers. There is a statue at the root of each of the three leaves, representing the resistance movement, the national liberation struggle and the image of the National People's Army soldiers in Algeria's history.

1. The scenery is good, the wet climate of the Mediterranean is very comfortable. Unique wild plant environment, the sand is very fine and it is very comfortable to step on. The beach is not big, there are diving and yacht projects. 2. The ancient Roman ruins are very seriously decayed because they are not well protected. If the Chinese go, the cultural experience will be very poor. A few stones and a bunch of tour guides say that it is an ancient theater, and the sensory contrast is too big. 3. Many locals go swimming and sea fishing. For the poor material life, this is one of the few good places to spend a holiday. If you are used to the coastal cities of Sanya, Beihai and Qingdao, the beach experience here may disappoint you.
Tipasa Roman Ruins Park preserves the ruins of the ancient Roman city. It was built by the sea and has a history of more than 2,000 years. Although only ruins remain, the remaining buildings can vaguely show the magnificent scenes of the time. Especially the ancient Roman Colosseum here, you can feel the bloody scene at that time. It is the most worthwhile place to visit in Algiers.

A place worth spending time in. In addition to the seaside promenade, the museums, characteristic blocks and cafes along the way are all worth experiencing. If you stay, I recommend el aurassi, where you can enjoy the harbor view, the three-leaf tower and the Grand Mosque while sitting on the balcony.
The Port of Algiers and its surrounding areas are very busy places for business in Algeria. There are many ships entering and leaving the port every day, which makes the business of the port here very developed and worth a visit.

The Royal Tombs of Mauritania Province, also known as the Mausoleum of Christ, is a building from the Numibian period. It is located in the Sidi Rached district of Tipasa Province, Algeria, 60 kilometers west of Algiers Province. It was listed as a World Heritage Site in 1982 and in 2002 by UNESCO. There are lights at night, and you can see it from a distance on the highway, which is very spectacular. This is the largest royal garden tomb in the ancient Egyptian period in West Africa. The most famous one is the Princess Tomb, which is a huge bun-shaped tomb where the daughter of the famous Egyptian queen is buried. After more than 4,000 years, it is basically well preserved. The entire garden covers a large area. Standing on the hilltop of the Princess Tomb, you can overlook the entire area. The scale is grand and the momentum is extraordinary.
Mauritania in Algiers was an area ruled by ancient Egypt, and this place is a royal garden. The most famous here is the Princess Tomb. She is the daughter of Cleopatra. The huge tomb has been well preserved to this day, which is a miracle.

The Grand Post Office of Algiers was built in 1910 in a neo-Moorish style. It is also a landmark building in the center of Algiers, the capital of Algeria. The Grand Post Office is still in operation as a post office and issues various first-day covers and commemorative stamps from time to time. There is a bookstore opposite that sells postcards, which can be bought and mailed at the post office.
The Grand Post Office of Algiers was built during the French colonial period and has a history of more than 100 years.
