Guelma, Administrative center in Guelma District, Algeria

Located at an elevation of 256 meters, Guelma functions as a regional hub connecting northeastern Algeria with coastal Mediterranean regions.

The settlement began as a Phoenician city named Malaca, later transformed into the Roman city of Calama within the province of Numidia.

The El-Atik Mosque, constructed in 1837, stands as the oldest religious structure in continuous use for worship in the entire district.

The city contains manufacturing facilities for cycles, mopeds, ceramics, and sugar refinement, alongside traditional pottery and knitting industries.

The restored Roman theater from 1905 represents a direct connection between modern Guelma and its ancient Roman predecessor, Calama.
