The city of Béjaïa, located on the Mediterranean coastline of Algeria, is both the capital of the Béjaïa Province and the largest city in Kabylia – a region in the north of Algeria which includes part of the Tell Atlas Mountains as well as the Djurdjura and Gouraya National Parks. Moreover, Béjaïa is home to one of the largest Berber speaking populations in Algeria. Hugging the shoreline of the Gulf of Béjaïa, the city has the Yemma Gouraya mountain as its backdrop, with its natural attractions including the Aiguades beach, the Soummam river and Monkey Peak, or Pic des Singes.
he settlement which later became the town of Béjaïa was originally founded by Numidian Berbers. The town later served as a port in the Carthaginian and Roman eras gaining importance under Roman Emperor Vespasian as a gateway to Mauretania. Interestingly, an altar dedicated to town councilor of Saldae (now Béjaïa) Gaius Cornelius Peregrinus, was discovered in the ruins of a fort in Maryport, England, on the western extremity of Hadrian’s Wall – the defensive fortification in Britain under Roman rule at the time.
