Mila

Mila lies west of Constantine in northeastern Algeria, on a hill between valleys. Known in antiquity as Milev, it was a Roman town and a Christian bishopric. Its old town retains traces of Byzantine walls, while the mosque of Sidi Ghanem recalls the early Islamic period. Medieval geographers described Mila as a small town on the route between Constantine and Béjaïa, in a region of grain and fruit cultivation.
