Relax and Take in the Sights of Mostaganem

The city of Mostaganem is located on the Mediterranean Sea, in the northwest region of Algeria. It was founded in the eleventh century, under the name Murustage, but was soon overrun in 1516 by Barbarossa. Even though Barbarossa was a pirate, he managed to transform Mostaganem into a lucrative pirate port, and a port for commercial traffic. It was not exactly the ideal leadership, but it did secure the seaport city as an important trading post and center for the fishing industry.
