Magic Lantern slide circa 1900 hand coloured. Titled Cities and places of interest in the Mediterranean.46—THE MARENGO GARDENS AND CATHEDRAL OF NOTRE DAME DE L'APRIQUE. It is of course to the suburbs of this populous city that visitors, who come for the warmth and soft air of Algiers, resort, and in them are dotted about the charming little villas in which the genial winter is passed away. These villas are generally situated as near the seashore as possible, in what is known as the Marengo Gardens—which owe their existence to the late emperor's love of improvement; and these gardens are adorned with, in some cases, vineyards, and in others with orange, lemon, myrtle, and olive groves. Behind them rises a sheltering hill, which protects them from the fierce siroccos that blow from the interior of the vast continent, and on the hill stands the Cathedral of Notre Dame de l'Afrique.
