A historic city in northwestern Algeria that served as the capital of the Zianid dynasty for more than three centuries, Tlemcen carries a dense architectural legacy of Andalusian-influenced monuments alongside a walkable centre with a strong café and restaurant scene. Founded as a Roman settlement in 201 CE and later known by several names before taking its current form in the early 9th century, the city sits close to the Mediterranean coast and the Moroccan border, surrounded by vineyards and olive groves.
