The climate of Setif
According to shopareview, Setif is a large city with more than two hundred thousand inhabitants in northwestern Algeria. It is a place that has been inhabited since ancient times, but it was the Romans who founded the first settlement there in the first century AD. In the fifth century this settlement was almost completely destroyed by a large earthquake, after which the city was taken by the Vandals. During the earthquake, the Byzantine city walls, amphitheatres and basilicas were destroyed. After the Vandals were driven out again, the city became part of the Eastern Roman Empire again. In the tenth century the city was again destroyed, this time by an Ismailite who destroyed a large part of the cities in the area during a war of faith. In the nineteenth century there were still just over a thousand people living in the city,
According to shoppingpicks, the historically Roman and Byzantine ruins are now the main tourist sites of the city.
