Mila is a city and the capital of Mila Province in the Northeast of Algeria. In antiquity, the city was a Roman colony called Milevum or Mileum, and was situated in the Roman province of Numidia. The city was conquered by Muslims in 675 AD under the Umayyad commander of Abu al-Muhajir Dinar, who built a mosque in it, considered the oldest in Algeria (Sidi Ghanem Mosque). The city includes some archaeological remains from the Roman and Byzantine periods.
