Touggourt, Algeria - The Main Square (circa 1907): A Glimpse into the Past This photograph transports us back in time to the North African town of Touggourt, Algeria, during the early 1900s. The image showcases the town's main square, a bustling hub of activity and social interaction. The square, known as "La Grande Place" or simply "La Place," is surrounded by low, whitewashed buildings with red-tiled roofs, their doors and windows adorned with intricate ironwork. In the foreground, a group of men, dressed in traditional Algerian attire, engage in animated conversation, their faces expressing a range of emotions. To the left, a woman in a flowing, colorful robe and headscarf walks along the edge of the square, her gaze fixed on the distant oasis. The photograph offers a glimpse into the daily life of this North African community during a time of French colonial rule. The French influence is evident in the European-style architecture, such as the clock tower in the background, which dominates the square. The view beyond the square reveals the vast expanse of the Touggourt oasis, a lush, green expanse of palm trees and vegetation, providing a stark contrast to the arid desert landscape that surrounds it. The oasis, a vital source of water and sustenance for the town, has long been a draw for travelers and settlers, contributing to the rich cultural heritage of this fascinating North African town.
