The Madrasa Thaalibia (; French: link=no|Médersa Thaâlibiyya), is a madrasa located in Algiers, Algeria. It was founded on 17 October 1904 by Charles Jonnart and subsequently became one of the leading spiritual and educational centres of Algeria.^[2]

Architecture

The building of this madrasa was designed by the architect (1856–1926).^[3] The style followed the Moorish Revival architecture under the guidance of Jonnart,^[4]

Four domes flank the central dome, a vestibule and a porch open between the two domes of the main façade.^[5] All the walls are lined, halfway up, with paneled earthenware faience and tiles.^[6]

For about fifty years since 1954, the building no longer has its vocation as a higher establishment for Medersians.^[7]
