Constantine takes its name from Emperor Constantine I. Little the
know, it is a masterpiece of history and a show to the sky
open. The ancient capital of Numidia Cirta is surely one
of the most impressive cities in the world. It is built on
a block of limestone. A large canyon splits the city in two and
many bridges were built. Her nickname is: "The
City of Bridges”. The city of hearts that orphaned Enrico Macias,
account of emblematic districts. The Ottoman Kasbah in the
Medina with the Palais du Bey is an architectural gem. The neighborhood
du Bardo reminds us of the French presence.
