Stories Set in Oran
Beneath a mountain fort on the Algerian coast, Oran is a port open to Mediterranean wind. Spanish, Ottoman and French occupations layered churches, mosques and theaters, and dance halls created rai music, giving stories a port accent of exile and song. The Plague imagines an epidemic closing the city, while Ce que le jour doit à la nuit traces two friends there. Open Oran on the StoryTerra map and filter its stories by any era.
