The Madrasa Thaalibia ( Arabic: المدرسة الثعالبية; French: Médersa Thaâlibiyya), is a madrasa located in Algiers, Algeria. It was founded on 17 October 1904 by Charles Jonnart and subsequently became one of the leading spiritual and educational centres of Algeria. [2]
The building of this madrasa was designed by the architect Henri Petit (1856–1926). [3] The style followed the Moorish Revival architecture under the guidance of Jonnart, [4]
Four domes flank the central dome, a vestibule and a porch open between the two domes of the main façade. [5] All the walls are lined, halfway up, with paneled earthenware faience and tiles. [6]
For about fifty years since 1954, the building no longer has its vocation as a higher establishment for Medersians. [7]
