Man this is hilarious! “Houbel” is just a nickname given by Algiers’ citizens, and not a good one actually.
Houbel is one of the many Gods in the “Djahiliya” era. It became famous following “El Rissala” (The Message), a religious movie about our Prophet Mohammed (peace be upon him). In one of the critical scnese, we see Billal being tortured by his masters, they dropped a massive rock on his chest and forcing him to pledge allegiance to Houbel “Edkor Houbel!!”, all while Billal kept repeating “A7ad … A7ad” (Allah the only God) because he believes in Islam.

Anyway, using Houbel as a serious name to present this monument is borderline insulting. You should reconsider otherwise your whole article sounds totally out of place.

Nice photos by the way.
