This hulking Romanesque building is the most obvious landmark upon arriving on the shores of the West Bank, and is still functioning both as a courthouse and office space for several local government facilities. While the original courthouse dated back to 1812 in its first incarnation as a plantation home, the current building was built following the Great Algiers Fire in 1896.

This, Algiers' oldest structure, and one of the few to survive the Great Algiers Fire, dates back to 1845. While the exterior is charming, the interior is nothing terribly exciting. Just around the corner on Olivier is another interesting old columned building—this one a former Masonic house.
