Coordinates: 36°55′N 3°53′E / 36.917°N 3.883°E / 36.917; 3.883 Dellys (Arabic: دلّس‎) is a small coastal town in northern Algeria, almost due north of Tizi-Ouzou and just east of the river Sebaou. It is notable for an Ottoman-era casbah, two colonial-era lighthouses (marking Cape Bengut), and some beaches; the principal activities of the area are fishing and farming. In Roman times, it was called Rusuccuru; in medieval times, Tedelles. In 1998 it had a population of 19,500 in the municipality.[1]
