Constantine Province

Constantine Province extends across 2,187 square kilometers of northeastern Algeria, featuring steep cliffs, deep gorges, and an elevation of 616 meters above sea level.

The region evolved from the ancient Numidian capital of Cirta, which transformed into a Roman stronghold before becoming an Ottoman trading center in later centuries.

The province maintains traditional crafts workshops where artisans create copper items, leather goods, and textiles according to methods passed through generations.

Six administrative districts connect through a network of modern roads, with regular bus services operating between Constantine city and surrounding municipalities.

Eight massive bridges span across the Rhumel River gorge, including the Sidi M'Cid suspension bridge that rises 175 meters above the water.
