The Mausoleum of Sidi Abderrahmane et-Thaâlibi is a zawiya (Mausoleum) located at the lower Casbah of Algiers, Algeria.

History
Although Sidi Abderrahman et-Thaâlibi died in 1471, it was not until 1611, during the Ottoman rule in Algeria that it was decided to build a qoubba to house the saint's burial. The fitted qoubba topped with a dome is of the Maghrebi type like those found in Tlemcen or Fez and has similarities with the Saadian tombs, which plan was very popular at the time.
