Khemisti is a town and commune in Tissemsilt Province in northern Algeria. It was called Bourbaki when Algeria was a colony of France.

History

In Roman times, it was called Columnata and belonged to the Roman province of Mauretania Caesariensis.

Bishop Martialis of Columnata was one of the Catholic bishops whom the Arian Vandal king Huneric summoned to Carthage in 484 and then exiled.

No longer a residential bishopric, Columnata is today listed by the Catholic Church as a titular see.
