About
L'Hillil, located in Relizane Province, Algeria, was historically significant during the Roman Empire as the site of the town of Baliana. This ancient town served as a notable settlement and was the seat of a Christian bishopric, highlighting its religious and cultural importance in the region. The presence of shrines like Sidi Ali Ben Messaoud and Koubbet Sidi Abd el Kader suggests a continuity of spiritual significance in the area. The remnants of Baliana offer insights into the Roman influence in North Africa, particularly in terms of urban planning and religious establishments. The titular see of the Roman Catholic Church reflects the enduring legacy of early Christian communities in this locality.
