Benghazi is the second-largest city in Libya and the principal urban centre of the eastern region of Cyrenaica, with a population of roughly 760,000. It observes Eastern European Time (EET, UTC+2) year-round; Libya abandoned daylight saving in 2013 and has stayed on a single offset since. The city sits on the Mediterranean coast and has been a port since antiquity, founded by Greek colonists from Cyrene as Euesperides and later refounded by the Ptolemies as Berenice. Benghazi was the co-capital of the Kingdom of Libya from 1951 to 1969, alternating government functions with Tripoli. The city became the symbolic centre of the 2011 uprising against Muammar Gaddafi, where the National Transitional Council was first established, and has been a focal point of Libya's subsequent political and security upheavals.
