Capital of Libya, founded by the Phoenicians as «Oea» before becoming one of the «three cities» that gave the wider region its name.
The name is Greek in origin, meaning «three cities», referring to the ancient cities of Oea, Sabratha and Leptis Magna that once formed the region.
The Phoenicians founded the city of Oea in the 7th century BCE. Together with the Roman cities of Sabratha and Leptis Magna, it formed a region the Greeks called «Tripolis» — «three cities» — a name later inherited by Oea alone.
The Old City of Tripoli preserves the Red Castle (Assaraya al-Hamra), originally raised under Spanish rule and later developed by the Ottomans, now housing a museum with artefacts spanning Phoenician, Roman and Islamic eras.
