Tigzirt, the classical Iomnium, is a small town on the coast of northeast Algeria in Tizi Ouzou Province. It has a sleepy demeanor and attracts only a small number of tourists. The town was established as a Phoenician colony on a small and easily defended peninsula. Under the Romans, Iomnium was a small port town. The ruins of a Christian basilica from the 5th century or 6th century are there, situated in the middle of Tigzirt. The beach is only average in its appeal, as it is stony. It is sheltered and tucked beneath the hills which separate it from Tizi-Ouzou.
