Bizerte, Coastal city in northern Tunisia.
Bizerte stands as a coastal municipality in northern Tunisia, positioned where the Mediterranean Sea meets a large tidal lake called Lac de Bizerte.
Originally known as Hippo Diarrhytus in ancient times, Bizerte served as an important port under Phoenician, Roman, and Byzantine civilizations before becoming a strategic base.
The city's medina features narrow streets filled with traditional artisan workshops where metalworkers, carpenters, and weavers continue their ancestral crafts in small family businesses.
Bizerte operates under postal code 7000 and sits at an elevation of 4 meters above sea level, serving as the capital of Bizerte Governorate with modern infrastructure.
Bizerte holds the distinction of being the northernmost city in Africa, positioned at coordinates that place it closer to Europe than any other African urban center.
