Things to see and do Benghazi

The remains of the former Bérénice (Béréniké) are at the foot of the Italian lighthouse. It shows mosaics of Roman houses (the end of the th century until the middle of the third) to geometric black and white decorations, and the remains of tanks and tanks dating from Roman times (th century BC). At the bottom of the lighthouse, the recent excavations enabled the foundations of a temple dedicated to the Greek God of Asclépios Medicine, a house and a Potter workshop, all of the Hellenistic era (the second Century BC). In the west, a church of the justinienne era was built from Greek materials and then transformed into mosque.

At the end of the shopping arcades of the Italian era buildings of the beautiful pedestrian area of rue Omar Moukhtar is the Place de la Liberté, ex place Baladiya (place de la Mairie). It is surrounded by Italian buildings, including the former Italian town hall dating from the early 1930 s and the Ottoman mosque El-Aatik. The façade of the former Italian town hall would require renovation, but it remains graceful. It is a Moorish style characteristic of Italian colonial architecture in its early stages, which will then be abandoned to the advantage of a monumental rationalist architecture with épurées shapes to the glory of the new fascist Rome.

The El-Jerid Couvert Couvert, a former Ed-Dalam souk, is a long 1 km long corridor, bathed in incense smells. The shops on both sides offer spices, clothing, gold jewelry, fabrics to make traditional clothes and wedding suits. Stands are also installed, which sell beauty products. The laugh in the centre of the street makes it possible to keep the shop in an exemplary state of cleanliness.
