The Cape constitutes the western end of the Gulf of Skikda, opposite Cap de Fer, and forms a peninsula which is the most important of the Algerian coast. It is the northernmost point of Algeria. In the first century, it was named Cape Treton (Greek "Chiseled") in the Geography of Strabo. It marked the limit between the Masaesyli in the west and the Massylii in the east.
