    I used to spend summers there and a few years back (About 8 years) the town had a large festival to celebrate it and had a large re-inactment of it.

    There is a bar in Baltimore called the Algiers lol. There is a restored castle in the middle of the village, its a private residence but is opened to the public during summer months
