What to see and do — Tissemsilt

The Tissemsilt region has been inhabited since antiquity by Berber Houara. In the Middle Ages, it passed under Almohad then Tlemcen Zianid authority. The region became in the 17th century an influential regional learning center. The Ottomans exercised only nominal authority. The French entered the Ouarsenis in 1841, and the region experienced several insurrections (Bou Maza in 1846, Beni Snassen). Under colonization, cereal agriculture developed on the plateaus. During the independence war, the Ouarsenis was a major FLN maquis (Wilaya IV). At independence, Tissemsilt remained attached to Tiaret, then became an autonomous wilaya in 1984. Today it's a rural, sparsely populated wilaya with under-exploited tourism potential.
