'''Toudja''' is a [commune](/source/List_of_communes_of_Algeria) in northern [Algeria](/source/Algeria) in the [Béjaïa Province](/source/B%C3%A9ja%C3%AFa_Province) in the [Kabylia](/source/Kabylia) region. The liberal [pied noir](/source/pied_noir) writer [Jules Roy](/source/Jules_Roy) discussed it in his book on the Algerian war of independence.<ref>{{Cite book |title=La Guerre d'Algérie|year=1960|author=Jules Roy|author-link=Jules Roy}}</ref>

Oranges are grown widely in the area. In [Roman times](/source/Ancient_Rome) its springs were an important source of water and there was an aqueduct taking water to the city of  [Saldae](/source/Saldae) (now [Béjaïa](/source/B%C3%A9ja%C3%AFa)).

== Relief, Geology, Hydrography ==
In Toudja, one can find the magnificent orange plantations of Toudja, from which famous springs emerge from the rock. These springs were once captured by the Romans to supply drinking water to Saldae. Even today, they can still provide a flow far exceeding the city's needs.{{Reflist}}
