Abstract :This study examines the aftermath of the destruction of the Penon Fortress in Algeria and its implications for the Ottoman presence in the region. The event marked a significant turning point, as the Ottoman was able to establish a stronghold and successfully counter Spanish campaigns aimed at their expulsion and the reoccupation of Algerian coastal areas. Additionally, the Ottoman achieved a consolidation of power by uniting with the Algerians under a centralized administration, following the suppression of local rebellions led by indigenous leaders.
