The villa Sésini (often improperly spelt Susini) is a torture center established in El Biar during the Algerian war in the city of Algiers.[1][2]

History

The villa was built in El Biar by Alexandre Sésini, notary at rue Bab Azzoun in Algiers.[3][4]

In 1926, the city of Algiers classified it as a natural monument, in 1927, the German consulate moved there.[5][6]

It was transformed into a detention and torture center during the Algerian Revolution.[7][8][9]

It housed after independence for a time, the headquarters of the United Nations High Commissioner for Refugees (UNHCR).[10][11]

After the independence of Algeria, the Villa Susini was used, in coordination with Cuba, for the military training of Latin American revolutionaries.[12][13]

By decree of the Algerian Ministry of Culture dated 28 April 2016, the villa is classified on the list of protected cultural property.[14]
