The map includes avenues or Percements through the fabric of the old city. The important religious monuments of the city, Islamic and Christian, were differentiated both by color (red for mosques, and blue for churches and synagogues) and notation (numbers for the mosques, and letters for churches and synagogues). The map identified a total of 282 mosques on it, of which nine were unnamed. . . . close examination of the 1874 map reveals that this document was a project and not the actual description of the place. --- Arnaud (1993, p. 82).Arnaud, Jean-Luc.
