Djamaʽa el Djedid (الجامع الجديد),[2][3] also rendered Djamaa al-Djedid,[2] or Jamaa El Jedid (meaning New Mosque) is a mosque in Algiers, the capital of Algeria.[4] It is dated to 1660/1070 AH by an inscription over its main entrance portal. That inscription also attributes its construction to al-Hajj Habib, a Janissary governor of the Algiers region appointed by the Ottoman imperial administration in Constantinople.[3] During the French colonial rule, the mosque was called the Mosquée de la Pêcherie[2] and in English the Mosque of the Fisherman's Wharf (Mesdjed el-Haoutin).[4]
