Toudja is a commune in northern Algeria in the Béjaïa Province in the Kabylia region. The liberal pied noir writer Jules Roy discussed it in his book on the Algerian war of independence.[1]
Oranges are grown widely in the area. In Roman times its springs were an important source of water and there was an aqueduct taking water to the city of Saldae (now Béjaïa).
Relief, Geology, Hydrography
In Toudja, one can find the magnificent orange plantations of Toudja, amid which emerge from the rock the famous springs, once captured by the Romans to supply drinking water to Saldae. Even today, these springs can still provide a flow far exceeding the city's needs.
