Ketchaoua Mosque (postage stamp design): An octagonal cupola rose above the immense prayer room whose four sides were skirted with galleries. The French occupation modified the building which underwent a complete overhaul and profound transformations to become a cathedral in 1832. Almost a hundred and thirty years later, it has been returned to the Muslim faith. ((Boudjemaâ Haichour, 2008: 192)
