Arshgul

Arshgul was a medieval port at the mouth of the Tafna River in western Algeria, facing the island of Rachgoun. It occupied the site of Portus Sigensis, the harbor serving ancient Siga. The eleventh-century geographer al-Bakri described a walled town with gates, a mosque and baths, accessible to small vessels. Its position linked the inland country around Tlemcen with the Mediterranean.
