Descriere

Annaba, known in antiquity as Hippo Regius, is an important port city in northeastern Algeria. Founded in the 12th century BC by the Phoenicians, the city has experienced a rich history under Roman, Vandal, Byzantine, and Ottoman rule. During the French colonial period, it was called Bône. Today, Annaba is the fourth largest city in Algeria and a significant industrial center, known for steel production and phosphate exports. The city is located on the Mediterranean coast, at the foot of the Edough mountains, offering a diverse landscape with beautiful beaches and mountainous areas nearby. Its Mediterranean climate makes Annaba an attractive destination for tourists. Among its main attractions are the ruins of the Roman city of Hippo Regius, the Basilica of Saint Augustine (who was bishop here in the 5th century), and Chapuis Beach. The city center retains a French colonial atmosphere, with wide boulevards and Art Nouveau style buildings.
