History
The great mosque in Oran was named after the Algerian Muslim theologian, organizer of the Association of Algerian Muslim Ulema, Abd al-Hamid Ben Badis . The design of the mosque was submitted to the Department of Religious Affairs in 1974 , but then the project was not registered. The construction of the mosque began in 1999 , but soon the Chinese contractor company stopped construction work due to lack of funding. Construction work was resumed only in 2012 after the intervention of the President of Algeria, Abdel Aziz Bouteflik . Construction was completed by a Turkish construction company in 2015 . The opening of the mosque took place on April 16, 2015 [1] .
