MUSÉE ALI LA POINTE
Ali Ammar, better known as Ali La Pointe, and his comrades in arms, Hassiba Ben Bouali, Mahmoud Bouhamidi and little Omar, were hiding in a house at no. 5 on this street. Refusing to surrender, they were killed when French paratroopers dynamited their house on the night of October 8-9, 1957. For the French, their deaths marked the culmination of the dismantling of the FLN network. A small museum dedicated to this hero of the Battle of Algiers and other martyrs was inaugurated at this memorial site in July 2006.
