It is located at an altitude of 4,593 feet in the Titteri Mountains, in the current Algerian commune of Kef Lakhdar ( Wilaya of Médéa). The city is mentioned by Ibn Khaldun, who indicates that Mount Tetri is the kingdom of the Zirids, in which the ruins of Achir are located. Archaeological excavations have determined the existence of two Zirid sites in this area.

Al-Batha', also known as El-Batha (in , ), is a Middle Ages, medieval historical city from the Maghreb, central Maghreb, located in Algeria, that no longer exists today. Mentioned as early as the first centuries of Islam, it has had a tumultuous history, particularly under the Rustamid dynasty, Rustemids, Fatimid Caliphate, Fatimids, Zirid dynasty, Zirids, and Zayyanids. Its strategic military, political, and economic role made it an important center, before the city was reduced to ruins at the end of the 15th century due to tribal conflicts. The name of the city appears to derive from the Arabic term batha, which means a flat area where water flows, leaving behind earth and small pebbles. However, medieval sources also mention variations such as Al-Sedra or Bunobure. The exact location of the city remains uncertain, although some researchers suggest sites between Relizane and Mostaganem. After its destruction, the city was revived in the 16th century by a Sufism, Sufi hermit named ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
