Benghazi is the second largest city in Libya, located on the south coast of the Mediterranean Sea in the northeast of the country, and is the capital and economic and cultural center of the Xilanega region. As a port city with a long history, Benghazi has been an important trading hub since the ancient Greek period, and there are historical monuments, such as the ruins of Cyrenaica.
