Tourist Guide Constantine
Constantine, in north-east Algeria, is a natural fortress spectacularly perched over a rocky mountain, 800 ft above the Rhumel River valley.
It enjoys a mild, Mediterranean climate. Summers average between 21 and 24 °C and in winter, the temperatures drop to 10 to 12 °C. While the winter isn’t particularly cold, the city does experience high levels of humidity.
Constantine has a rich, historical past. It is one of the oldest cities in Algeria and has served as the capital of the Numidia Empire. It is an integral part of Greek, Arab and French history and was an important base during the Second World War.
With a population of above 500, 000 inhabitants, mostly of Arab and Berber origins, Constantine has developed into an important centre for industry, trade and commerce.
