About
El Harrouch is a historic town in northeastern Algeria, notable for its strategic location connecting the ancient cities of Cirta (Constantine) and Skikda. The presence of Roman roads indicates its significance during the Roman period, with remnants reflecting the area's historical importance in transportation and communication. The town later became a site of French military settlement in the 19th century, marked by the construction of bastions for defense. These historical layers reflect El Harrouch's role as a crossroads of civilizations and cultures over time. The discovery of pre-Roman tombstones offers glimpses into the area's ancient past, enhancing its archaeological significance.
