# Mausoleum of Sidi Abderrahmane Et-Thaalibi

The Mausoleum of Sidi Abderrahmane et-Thaâlibi is a zawiya (Mausoleum) located at the lower Casbah of Algiers, Algeria.

It is honoring the memory of the patron saint of the city, Sidi Abderrahman and-Thaâlibi. It is one of the Zwiyas in Algeria under the supervision of the Ministry of Religious Affairs and Endowments and of the Algerian Religious Reference.

## History

Although Sidi Abderrahman et-Thaâlibi died in 1471, it was not until 1611, during the Ottoman rule in Algeria that it was decided to build a qoubba to house the saint's burial. The fitted qoubba topped with a dome is of the Maghrebi type like those found in Tlemcen or Fez and has similarities with the Saadian tombs, which plan was very popular at the time.
