The French invaded Algeria in 1830, and found a landscape rich in
Roman remains, which they proceeded to re-use to support the
constructions such as fortresses, barracks and hospitals needed to
fight the natives (who continued to object to their presence), and
to house the various colonisation projects with which they intended
to solidify their hold on the country, and to make it both modern
and profitable. Arabs and Berbers had occasionally made use of the
ruins, but it was still a Roman and Early Christian landscape when
the French arrived. In the space of two generations, this was
destroyed, just as were many ancient remains in France, in part
because "real" architecture was Greek, not Roman.
