Sétif Province

Sétif Province extends across 6,504 square kilometers of varied terrain, from mountainous regions to agricultural plains at an elevation of 1,036 meters.

The province contains the ancient Roman city of Djémila, which displays architectural elements and intricate mosaics from the period when the region was Mauretania Sitifensis.

The province maintains traditional markets where local farmers sell grains, livestock products, and regional specialties produced in the surrounding agricultural territories.

Twenty districts divide the province, including the capital Sétif, with a network of highways connecting major centers like El Eulma and Ain El Kebira.

The province experienced territorial changes in 1984 when Bordj Bou Arréridj and Mila provinces were established from sections of its original territory.
