Tiaret, Provincial capital in northwestern Algeria
The city of Tiaret stands at 1200 meters above sea level in the Tell Atlas mountains, 150 kilometers from the Mediterranean coast.
Between 761 and 909, Abd al-Rahman ibn Rustam established Tiaret as the capital of the Rustamid dynasty, making it a center of theological studies.
The name Tiaret derives from the Berber word for lioness, reflecting the presence of Barbary lions that once inhabited the surrounding mountains.
Modern Tiaret provides agricultural services and commercial facilities to its 178,915 residents through an extensive network of markets and distribution centers.
Ancient stone burial monuments called Jedars, dating from the 5th to 7th centuries, rise from the landscape 30 kilometers southwest of Tiaret.
