Dougga


Dougga Theater

Ancient Dougga is the best-preserved ancient Roman city in North Africa and a UNESCO World Heritage Site. It was built on the site of a Numidian settlement, which explains why the streets are so tangled. Here stand the remains of a complete town that once had 5,000 residents, including villas, temples, baths, a paved street, and a forum, making it easy to imagine life in this place in the second century AD. The temple known as "the Capitol" and the Lycinian Baths are particularly well preserved. It began as a Berber community, was rebuilt by the Romans and then occupied by Byzantium. The head of Zeus we saw at the Bardo was found here.
