Abstract

Tlemcen is a city of art and history, which was built in Roman times. It was architecturally enriched over time with stylistic contributions of different dynasties. This city was ranked saved area in 2009 by executive decree. The geographical trace of this area affects only the Islamic medina Tagrart excluding the rest of the city. Therefore, we wondered about the real limits of this millenary city. For that, we traced its urban heritage by studying the stratification and characteristics of the urban fabric. This new geographical trace demonstrates the exclusion of many historic areas of the heritage classification.
