Guelma Province, Administrative province in northeastern Algeria.
The province spans 4,101 square kilometers across varied landscapes, including agricultural lands, forests with Aleppo Pine, and municipalities connected by regional roads.
During Roman times, the region was known as Calama and functioned as a major commercial center, featuring a theater that could accommodate 4,500 spectators.
Saint Possidius served as bishop in the 5th century, leaving records of religious practices and social structures that influenced regional development.
The territory contains 34 municipalities distributed among 10 districts, with 87 percent of residents having access to drinking water systems.
The province experienced substantial reorganization in 1984 when El Taref Province and Souk Ahras Province were separated from its original territory.
