Because of the different social and cultural aspects, cities are marked by an urban identity which differs from one place to another. Therefore urban identity is a very important concept which is defined in several ways but the best known diffinition is that of Lynch who defined it as follows: “the extent to which a person can recognize or recall a place as being distinct from other places”(Lynch ,1968). Annaba, classified as the fourth largest city in Algeria, because of its geographical location, as well as its very rich history, it is a city which has a striking and very special urban identity which comes from the Ottoman and Colonial periods in the first place, more that many other civilizations lived in Annaba. These civilizations have left their mark on the urban landscape and the natural environment of the city.
