Nedroma
ندرومة
An Almoravid-era old town northwest of Tlemcen, with an 11th-century Great Mosque and one of the best-preserved traditional medinas in Algeria.
Nedroma lies about 55 km from Tlemcen, at the foot of the Traras Mountains. It is one of Algeria's best-preserved traditional medinas and is on the UNESCO World Heritage tentative list. Its core is the Great Mosque, founded by the Almoravid dynasty in 1086, with a plain, sturdy minaret. Inside the old town, winding lanes pass traditional houses, workshops and hammams. You can hire a car for a day trip, and about 25 km further north lies the small Mediterranean port of Honaine, a good place to combine with your visit.
