The People's National Assembly building is a public building in Algiers and home of Algeria's People's National Assembly. It was designed in 1934 and inaugurated in 1951 as a new city hall for the Greater Algiers, and repurposed following the country's independence in 1962.
The building's location was previously used by a logistical branch of the French military (manutention militaire), built during the Second French Empire.[1]
The municipality had previously been located, from 1850 to 1883, in the Vieux Palais of the Casbah of Algiers;[2] and from 1883 to the mid-20th century on the Algiers waterfront, now Boulevard Zighoud-Youcef, in the former Hôtel d'Orient building that still hosts the Casbah municipality.[3]
