a large city of Algiers, the capital of the above province. It occupies the site of Girta, celebrated as the ancient bulwark of Numidia. It is built upon an elevated rock, formed into a species of peninsula by the Rummel, which surrounds it on all sides, except a narrow neck of land to the south-west. The ancient city extended to a considerable distance along a valley beyond the rocky promontory, and many beautiful specimens of its former grandeur and strength remain, among which are aqueducts, gates, arches, pillars, and other architectural fragments of antiquity. The modern city is of less extent; and exhibits nothing remarkable. It is defended by strong Constantine, which add to the natural strength of its situation. The surrounding country is very beautiful and fertile. Constantina contains about 30,000 inhabitants. Long. 6° 24'. E. Lat. 36° 25'. N.
