Tigzirt is a small coastal town in Algeria, close to Tizi Ouzou in the Kabyle region. It used to be a popular seaside getaway for Kabyle families, and the stony beach and relaxed atmosphere still draw visitors in summer.
The main historic attraction is the Basilique Chrétienne, a 4th-century Christian basilica in the centre of town with well-preserved mosaic floors. The ancient Roman town of Iomnium occupied this site, and its ruins — forum foundations, columns, and civic buildings — are scattered around the modern settlement. The beach is sheltered and pleasant, best visited from June through September when the weather and sea conditions are reliably good.
