Baghaï

Baghaï lies north of the Aurès Mountains, between the highlands and the salt lake of Garaet el Tarf. The ancient town of Bagai stood near the present settlement and became a stronghold of Donatist Christianity in late antiquity. A bishop from Bagai attended the Council of Carthage in 411. Its position near routes through the Aurès made the town an important fortified place in the region.
