Résumé anglais The Irruption of Makkam Ech-Chahid in the Algiers Environment: Physical Vulnerabilities and Social Representations. The Riadh-El-Feth (Victory Park) in which is situated the Martyrs Sanctuary (Makkam Ech-Chahid) is the first important urban project undertaken in the city of Algiers since the country's independance. This prestigious project is a product of the “monumentalist” logic that has characterized the urban history of Algiers from the colonial period until today. It is a conception of public space that reflects both the establishment of the state and the expression of new public forms of sociability. However, the ambivalence of these representations means that the monument can cristalize political issues for the control of public space.
