Constantine - The City of Cliffs

Algeria - Constantine 💫The city is built entirely on steep cliffs. Many places are so high that even those who aren't afraid of heights will feel weak in the knees. It's fascinating to think about how the city was originally built. The city has been an important military fortress for 2,000 years, surviving the Roman Empire, the Byzantine Empire, and the Ottoman Empire. 💫Ancient City Walls: As a symbol of the city, the ancient city walls have witnessed Constantine's glorious history. Stroll along the walls to enjoy the beautiful city views and feel the weight of history. 💫Constantine National Museum: The museum houses many precious artworks and historical artifacts, making it a must-visit place to learn about the city's history and culture. 🕋 💫The Emir Abdelkader Mosque is the largest mosque in Constantine and the second largest mosque in Algeria. The entire building is pure white, and the interior is luxuriously decorated. 💫The Constantine Arch of Triumph was built in 315 AD and is the latest of the three remaining triumphal arches in Rome. It was built to celebrate Emperor Constantine's complete victory over his powerful enemy Maxentius in 312 AD and the unification of the empire. 💫Suspension Bridge - Sidi M'Cid: This is Constantine's famous suspension bridge, located near the palace. It spans the cliffs and not only connects the city but is also one of Constantine's most famous attractions.
