Tipasa Province, Mediterranean coastal province in northern Algeria.
Tipasa Province stretches along the Mediterranean coast in northwestern Algeria with sandy beaches and villages scattered among farmland. The coastal area reveals ancient remains throughout, telling the story of long human settlement.
The area was settled by Phoenicians and Romans in ancient times, shaping the Mediterranean trade region deeply. The modern administrative structure was created in 1984 through division of a larger province.
Berber communities here speak Tamazight and maintain traditional crafts visible in local markets and village centers. These practices shape daily life and appear in the region's architecture and local celebrations.
The area consists of 28 municipalities and is administered from the city of Tipaza, located west of Algiers. Visitors can reach beaches, villages, and archaeological sites without much difficulty.
An old radio transmitter on the territory broadcast French programs on longwave for many years, reaching listeners far beyond the region. This communications facility was technically noteworthy for the western Mediterranean.
