Sidi M'hamed Bou Qobrine Cemetery (Arabic: مقبرة سيدي أمحمد بوقبرين) is a cemetery in the commune of Belouizdad in Algeria. The name relates to Sidi M'hamed Bou Qobrine.[1]

History

[edit]

In the place of this Muslim cemetery, in 1830 during the French conquest of Algeria, there was only the mausoleum of Sidi M'hamed Bou Qobrine and a few graves among the wild olive trees.[2]

It was then that the burials of the Muslim dead in Algiers were more and more numerous in the El Kettar cemetery from 1834, and in the Sidi M'hamed Cemetery.[3]

The latter began to be a Muslim necropolis only around 1850, when the cemeteries occupying the site of the streets of Tripoli, Larbi Ben Mhidi, Ali Boumendjel and Boulevard Debbih Cherif were destroyed.[4]

Originally surrounded by cacti and aloe vera, a perimeter wall was built to surrounded it at the start of the 20th century.[5][6]

The entrance gate, the minaret, the portico and the fountain were also built at this time.[7]
