Tripoli (Libya)

North Africa — Italki + Berber

Tripoli (Arabic Tarabulus al-Gharb), the Mediterranean port that is the capital of present-day Libya, was a North African coastal city of mixed Berber and Mediterranean population that came under Muslim rule in the 7th century and was later part of the Fatimid and Ottoman domains. The Fatimid jurist al-Qadi al-Nu'man (d. 974) is connected to the western Fatimid lands of which Tripoli was a part. [Libyan Tripoli, not the Lebanese one.]
