Coat of arms of Annaba (Bône)
Coat of arms of Annaba - Alias Bône, alias Hippone, alias Hippo-Régius', also called the 'City of Jujubiers'.
The massive silhouette of Jebel Edough gives the direction to Annaba. In Séraidi, all white in the middle of the oaks, the most remarkable part of the road begins. A solemn descent allows you to contemplate Annaba as you contemplate Oran when descending from Santa Cruz. Between the domes of the hills and the curve of the gulf, the city rises its narrow buildings while the Basilica of Saint Augustine marks the location of Hippo.
Located on the seaside in the east of the country, Annaba was founded in the 12th century BC. Favorite resident of the kings of Numidia, it suffered the repercussions of the war between Caesar and Pompey, and became Roman following Caesar's victory and the annexation of Numidia in the year 46 BC.
Annaba has the reputation of being a welcoming, open and tolerant city.
