What to see and do — Béjaïa

Béjaïa, ancient Saldae, prospers under Romans as a fluvial port. It becomes important under Numidian, then Byzantine rule. In the Middle Ages, Béjaïa is a major intellectual and commercial center, frequented by Arab, Jewish, and Genoese merchants. Genoese build a fortress (15th-16th centuries) whose ruins remain. The city becomes a haven for Barbary corsairs before French conquest in 1833. During colonization, Béjaïa transforms into a modern port. It plays a significant role in the Algerian independence war. Today, the city reconciles its multi-centuries maritime past with sustainable tourism future.
