Mountain town in northwestern Libya's Nafusa Mountains, Zintan sits a short drive southwest of Tripoli. Its Arabic name translates as "modest castles," a detail that hints at the area's layered history. The surrounding highland terrain gives the town a distinct character from Libya's coastal settlements.
