From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
El Mouradia is the name of the main presidential palace in Algeria. It is a modest but beautiful Mauresque style villa pre-dating independence that was chosen to house the Algerian presidency's main offices, including the Algerian president's office itself. El Mouradia symbolises the Algerian presidency therefore just like the White House or the Kremlin symbolise the American or Russian presidencies. Entrance is guarded by dismounted troops from the Algerian Haras Joumhouri (Republican Cavalry).
