Tedelles

Tedelles, later known as Dellys, stands on a Mediterranean headland west of Béjaïa. Its harbor offered shelter along a rugged stretch of the Algerian coast. After the decline of the ancient town of Rusucurru, the settlement appeared in medieval sources under the name Tedelles. In the twelfth century it received the exiled ruler of Almería, Mu‘izz al-Dawla ibn Sumadih, who found refuge under Hammadid protection.
