  occupies the site of a Roman town. The ancient harbour was destroyed by
earthquake
  in the reign of the emperor Gallien. The present port is entirely artificial. The existing town appears to date from the time of the Almoravides, who built the citadel, now turned into a prison. It passed into the possession of the rulers of Tlemcen and was captured by Arouj
Barbarossa
  in 1516, and became
part
  of his brother Khair-ed-Din's kingdom. In the 16th century the town enjoyed a period of
great
  commercial prosperity, and its
population
  rose to 40,000. The re-awakening of the town
dates
  from the French occupation in 1833. Pop. (1906) of the town, 19,528, of the commune 22,011, of the arrondissement, comprising 27 communes, 332,684.
