Skikda Province extends over 4,026 square kilometers along the Mediterranean Sea, containing 13 districts and 38 municipalities within its boundaries.
The province emerged from the former Constantine department in 1974, with roots dating back to ancient times when its capital was known as Rusicade.
Local artisans maintain traditional craft practices while markets and festivals throughout the 38 municipalities preserve regional customs and social connections.
