Perched atop Algiers' heights, Dar Abdellatif, a resplendent Moorish villa, bears witness to a rich tapestry of history and artistry.
Constructed in the 18th century during the deylical era, it began as a countryside retreat described in records dating back to 1715. Passing through various hands, it finally found prominence under Si Mahmoud Abd-el-Tif in 1795.
In the early 20th century, thanks to the vision of art critic Arsène Alexandre and the Société des peintres orientalistes français, Dar Abdellatif was reborn as the Villa Abd-el-Tif, a haven for artists. Renowned curator Léonce Bénédite oversaw its transformation.
Designated a historic monument in 1922, this villa hosted notable artists, such as Paul Jouve and Léon Cauvy, through the Abd-el-Tif Prize, fostering a legacy of creative excellence.
Today, Dar Abdellatif stands as a cultural gem, a testament to the enduring bond between history, art, and the human spirit.

Strategically positioned along a key Alpine pass, it served as a crucial defensive stronghold against invasions from France, reflecting centuries of military architecture and border conflicts in the region.

Charles B. Wells House, constructed in 1850 in the Greek Revival, is one of Geneva’s most distinguished structures. It is built in the form of a temple, two and one-half stories, with a full Doric portico and four engaged pilasters. It has a full gable pediment over a high entablature, and the architrave and frieze are separated by a line of fine dentil molding. A local Geneva carpenter channeled the Doric columns. The original frame siding was covered with stucco about the turn of the century. The Wells House was purchased by Dr. Raymond Scott in 1891 and established Colonial Hospital, which remained in the house until 1925. In 1952, the house was converted for commercial use.- (courtesy Geneva Historical Society)
