In this paper, we studied the Great Mosque of Algiers "Djama El-Djazar" using the space syntax method, which leads us to deduce new properties related to its external spatial environment relationships and its inner spatial configuration. Djama El-Djazar has a religious, cultural and scientific character; it was chosen because it expresses contemporary, development, modernity and the capabilities of this era. Using the Depthmap programme, new outdoor and indoor spatial properties related to visibility and movement were identified: Concerning the outdoor environment, the Great Mosque of Algiers is visible from many sides due to its size and the dominance of its mass. However, areas show defects when speaking about movement: the northern region lacks real connections. Concerning the indoor spatial structure, when walking from gates via centres, wayfinding can be scattered between columns due to their numbers, dimensions, and placement
