Batna, Regional market center in Atlas Mountains, Algeria.
Batna lies between the northern and southern Atlas Mountains at 1048 meters elevation, forming a natural passage through these mountain ranges.
The French military established a fortress in 1844 to control access between the Sahara and Atlas Mountains, leading to the foundation of Nouvelle Lambese.
The regional theater of Batna and multiple cultural centers showcase performances by local artists, maintaining traditional forms of artistic expression.
Several sports teams share the November 1954 Stadium while traditional restaurants serve regional dishes throughout the commercial districts.
The surrounding area contains Roman ruins of Timgad and Lambaesis, which date from the first century and demonstrate ancient commercial networks.
