Formerly called Philippeville, it is a port city on the Mediterranean Sea in northeastern Algeria. In Roman times it was called Rusikade and then Kirta, and was the outer port of the present-day Constantine, but was rebuilt as the outer port of Constantine in 1838. It is the starting point of the railway to Toughourt in the Sahara Desert, and the road across the desert to Nigeria. It developed as a shipping port for wine and citrus fruits from the coastal plain, wheat and wool from the inland plateau, dates from the oases, and iron ore and phosphate rock mined in the border area with Tunisia. Currently, a natural gas pipeline (575 km) has been laid from Hasir Mer for export, and an oil pipeline (747 km) has been laid from Mesdar through Hassi Messaoud, and natural gas liquefaction plants and petrochemical complexes have been built. It is home to the ruins of the largest Roman theater in Algeria. Population: 128,747 (estimated 1987).
