Authors : Ghouari Razika . Belilita Nabil .
Abstract
The period of Ottoman presence in Algeria, which spanned from the early 16th century to the early 19th century, witnessed significant activity in the field of scientific and exploratory travel in North Africa in general, and Algeria in particular. Local and Arab travelers, as well as foreign explorers, engaged in various expeditions for the purpose of travel, exploration, scientific research, espionage, and compiling military reports. Their descriptions of the cities they visited were highly accurate and detailed. In this paper, we aim to highlight one of the most important Algerian cities during that era, namely the city of Constantine, which mesmerized all who visited it. We do so by examining the descriptions provided by some of the travelers, explorers, and military personnel who encountered the city. Our goal is to showcase the historical, social, and cultural significance of Constantine during that important period. Through our research, we have concluded that the writings of these travelers and explorers played a significant role in documenting the history of Constantine and other cities.
