Setif
Between History, Nature and Modernity
Nestled at over 1,000 m altitude, the city of the High Plateaus stands at the heart of history and well‑being, on the lands of ancient Sitifis. Bearing witness to nearly two millennia of history, the city offers exceptional heritage: Roman ruins, a Byzantine citadel, typically Ottoman and colonial architecture, all centered around the famous Aïn El Fouara fountain. Surrounded by majestic landscapes, the city charms with a rare balance between history, culture, nature and thermal tradition.
The hospitality of its inhabitants, the gentleness of local life and the exceptional panoramas make Sétif an essential stopover in the Algerian High Plateaus.
