La Calle is a seaport of Algeria, in the arrondissement of Bona, department of Constantine, 56 miles by rail east of Bona and 10 miles west of the Tunisian frontier. It is the centre of the Algerian and Tunisian coral fisheries and has an extensive industry in the curing of sardines; but the harbour is small and exposed to the north east and west winds. The old fortified town, now almost abandoned, is built on a rocky peninsula about 400 yards long, connected with the mainland by a bank of sand. Since the occupation of La Calle by the French in 1836 a new town has grown up along the coast.
