 | | Jijel town and roadstead port, northeastern Algeria, on the Mediterranean seacoast and the western edge of the Collo Kabylie region. |
 | | The city of Jijel, originally a Phoenician trading post, passed successively to the Romans (as Igilgili), the Arabs, and, in the 16th century, to the pirate Khayr ad-Din Barbarosse. |
 | | Surrounded by dense cork-oak forest and protected by a peninsula and citadel to the north, Jijel was replanned along modern lines, with wide streets shaded by plane trees. |
