Medieval and early modern periods

Between the tenth and fifteenth centuries, Oran moved between regional powers around Tlemcen and neighbouring dynasties. In 1509 Spain captured the city after Mers El Kébir. The Spanish presence lasted in several phases until the final evacuation at the beginning of 1792, after the siege led by Mohamed El Kebir and a destructive earthquake.
