Description

Discover the beauty of Constantine, formerly known during the Punic/Roman time as "Cirta", a town that inspired many poets and rulers for centuries. Visit the Cirta museum and learn about the city renowned for its hanging bridges, hence the name "the city of the bridges". See the Monument to the Dead and the Mosque of Emir Abdelkader while witnessing this beauty built on a rocky plateau like an eagle's nest, belted by the famous river Rhummel that bisects the rock into two parts.
