The map
Al Bayḑā’ stands on the Jabal al Akhdar, the Green Mountain, a plateau above the Mediterranean coast of Cyrenaica that gets more rain than almost anywhere else in Libya. The city sits well inland from the sea on this upland. Farmland, scrub and patches of woodland surround it and give the region its name.
Much of the modern city was built in the mid-twentieth century, when King Idris made it a seat of government. The map shows broad avenues and regular districts alongside older quarters that grew without a plan. Omar Al-Mukhtar University occupies its own campus within the city, adding another large, clearly defined area to the plan.
The history here is long. The remains of ancient Balagrae, with its sanctuary of Asclepius, lie within the city, and the ruins of Cyrene are a short drive to the east. An Al Bayḑā’ map poster shows how modern streets were laid out over a very old landscape on the Libyan plateau.
The city spreads across the rolling top of the Jabal al Akhdar. Wadis cut into the upland and shape where roads and districts can go.
Broad, straight streets from the city's mid-century expansion cross the centre. They give the poster a clear framework of long lines.
The ancient sanctuary site inside the city appears as an open pocket within the street network, a reminder of the settlement's Greek and Roman past.
