The Minaret du Campement was the name given to the minaret when it was classified as a historic monument in 1889. The mosque was renamed Mohammed Bey Othman El Kebir upon independence. But it retained the name of Sidi al-Houari, the revered patron saint of Oran, who passed away there in 1439 and whose grave is about 200 meters away from this mosque.
