The medina core
Around the Great Mosque and the Mechouar citadel, the street pattern tightens into small irregular blocks and narrow lanes. It is the densest and most intricate part of the city on paper.

On the wall



The map
Tlemcen sits in northwestern Algeria, not far from the Moroccan border, on a broad terrace at the foot of the Tlemcen mountains. From above, the city lies in a band between the cliffs of the Lalla Setti plateau to the south and farmland falling away to the north. Its streets bend to follow the ground, and the dense historic core stands out clearly from the looser districts built around it.
For several centuries Tlemcen was the capital of the Zayyanid kingdom and an important stop on routes between the Maghreb and the Mediterranean. Its Great Mosque dates from the Almoravid period in the twelfth century, and the Mechouar citadel marks the old seat of power. Both lie inside the compact medina, where short, twisting lanes create a tight texture on the map.
A Tlemcen map poster also takes in the landmarks around the centre. To the west are the remains of Mansourah, a walled camp-city whose ruined minaret still stands. To the southeast, the Sidi Boumediene complex sits on the slope at El Eubbad. Together with the orchards and roads that link them, these places turn the map into a record of a city built in layers.
Around the Great Mosque and the Mechouar citadel, the street pattern tightens into small irregular blocks and narrow lanes. It is the densest and most intricate part of the city on paper.
The ruins of Mansourah lie west of the centre inside a large rectangle of old walls. It is a geometric outline on the map, and the modern town has grown up to meet it.
The Lalla Setti plateau rises sharply south of the city. On the map, the switchback roads climbing the slope contrast with the flatter streets of the town spread out below.

Why Tlemcen
Tlemcen is often called a city of art and history, and its map shows why. There is a walled core, a ruined rival city next door and a mountain edge that frames it all. For anyone with family roots or memories there, the poster keeps that geography close.
The title, subtitle and coordinates line are all yours to change, so you can add a neighbourhood, a date or a dedication. There are five styles to choose from: Classic black & white, Noir, Paper, Blueprint and Sand. Get it as a $9 HD file set or as a printed poster shipped from a nearby print partner.
