Popis: Seismology has a long tradition stretching back over three centuries in Algeria since the country is an earthquake-prone area. This paper presents a quick overview on the development of seismology in Algeria from the first written records of seismic events in the fourteenth century up to the monitoring of earthquakes and modern, and historical seismological studies nowadays. We particularly focus on the important milestones on the way of progress of seismology in Algeria and present a summary on what has been achieved so far in seismology research and education.
