A major economic and historical center, Benghazi is the second largest city in Libya and the largest city of the eastern half of the country. The city was the military capital for the Fascist Italian occupation beginning in 1911. Benghazi was a major naval port for Italy and the Axis powers during World War II, until its capture by the Allies in 1942. The city lies 645km from the capital Tripoli, and its population was estimated as 660,147 in a 2004 census. Benghazi is served by the Benina International Airport, located 19km east of the city.

Because of Benghazi’s coastal position on the Gulf of Sidra, it’s the only major city on the North African coast to face the Mediterranean Sea to the West instead of the North, giving the city its unique view of the sunset over the Mediterranean.
