Turkey’s state development aid agency has restored a historic mosque in Algeria known as a symbol of the country’s independence.

The Ketchaoua Mosque was built during Ottoman rule in the 17th century in the neighborhood of Casbah in the capital of the north African nation, Algiers.

Though the mosque became a cathedral in the 19th century before once again becoming a mosque in 1962, it has retained its original grandeur.
