الزخرفة في العمارة الدينية : دراسة وصفية فنية لمسجد كتشاوة بعد الترميم أنموذجا

الملخص EN

The Islamic decoration touched several fields, bue the most important is the domain of architecture, especially the religious one “mosques”, among them the “Ketchaoua Mosque” in Algiers, which was the ideal model for the Ottoman-Algerian architecture before the French colonization blurred its identity by converting it into a church, to be recently restored and decorated new.

The contents of this research paper revolve around showing the artistic values of decoration in the Ketchaoua mosque after the recent restoration process, as well as the role played by the decoration employed therein.

Finally, we conclude that the mosque did not maintain the purely Ottoman architectural style due to its transformation into a cathedral, but it remained very rich in decoration, and this what does interest us in this study.
