 | | Bejaia is a city on the eastern Algerian coast, built in an amphitheatre around a bay, sheltered from the sea elements. |
 | | Bejaia symbolises something extraordinary, that is the marriage between business and science, and it came via the Italian city of Pisa, one of the major trading powers of the Middle Ages, and soon the birth place of modern Western mathematics. |
 | | The prosperity of Bejaia went on under the Almohads, who also prevented the city form falling under Norman hands, the Normans who then had taken much of Tunisia, and were extending their realm, threatening the suppression of Islam in the whole of North Africa. |
