Tajura

Tajura (Arabic: تاجوراء, romanized: Tājūrā; Italian: Tagiura), also spelt Tajoura, is a town in north-western Libya, and baladiyah in the Tripoli Muhafazah, on the Mediterranean coast 23 kilometres (14 mi) east of Tripoli.

Tajura is also known to be the most anti-Gaddafi district in Tripoli and had high casualties in the Libyan revolution.

[3] Under the command of Hayreddin Barbarossa, the site was selected for its proximity to Tripoli which had come under the Knights of Malta in 1530 when Charles V of Spain, as King of Sicily, had given them Tripoli, Gozo and Malta.

[4][5] A fire broke out in an outbuilding in April 2024, which the Libyan Atomic Energy Commission reported as under control.
