The Hassan Pasha Mosque (Arabic: مسجد حسن الباشا, Masjid Hassan el-Basha), also referred to as the Pasha Mosque or the Grand Mosque, is a mosque located in Oran, Algeria. It was built in 1796[1][2] by order of Baba Hassan, Pasha of Algiers, in memory of the expulsion of the Spanish.[3] During the French Invasion of Algiers in 1830, French soldiers would occupy the mosque during their invasion of Algeria as their living-quarters.[4] 5 years after the French Invasion, in 1835, the building was established as a mosque and renovated three decades later.[5] In 1952, the mosque was listed as a historic monument.[5] Since 2010, this historic monument has been closed to the public.[6]
