  Population on 25-Jun-98 : 147076 ------------------------------- Bejaïa (/be'?aja/; V'gayet in the kabyle language) is a Mediterranean port on the Gulf of Béjaïa in Béjaïa Province, northern Algeria. It was formerly known under various mutilated names, such as Budschaja in German, Bugia in Italian, and under French colonial rule until 1962 as Bougie /bu'?i/ (both also the word for candle). The population of the city in 1998 was 147,076, but 905,000 according to the City of Bejaia itself.[1] The northern terminus of the Hassi Messaoud oil pipeline from the Sahara, Béjaïa is the principal oil port of the Western Mediterranean. Exports, aside from crude petroleum, include iron, phosphates, wines, dried figs, and plums. The city also has textile and cork industries. A minor port in Carthaginian and Roman times, Béjaïa was the Roman Saldae, a veteran colony founded by emperor Vespasian of great importance in the province of Mauretania Caesariensis, later in the fraction Sitifensis. It became the capital of the short-lived African kingdom of the Germanic Vandals (founded in 429-430), which was wiped out circa 533 by the Byzantines who established the African prefecture and later the Exarchate of Carthage. It had disappeared but was refounded under its present name by the islamic Berbers in the 11th century and became an important port and cultural center. It was the son a Pisan merchant (and probably consul) there under the Almohad dynasty -posthumously known as Fibonacci- who learned there about Arabic numerals and introduced them, and modern mathematics, in feudal Europe. After a Spanish 'late Crusader' occupation (1510–55), the city was taken by the Ottoman Turks. Until it was captured by the French in 1833, Bejaïa was a stronghold of the Barbary pirates (see Barbary States). (From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia.) Free photos Bejaaa Algeria
