Altava, Archaeological site in Ouled Mimoun, Algeria.
The archaeological remains of Altava extend across a small plain near the Oued Isser valley, featuring ancient walls and structural foundations.
Altava served as a Roman settlement in Mauretania Caesariensis during the 2nd century and later became the capital of an independent Berber kingdom after 429.
The site contains evidence of religious transformation through inscriptions mentioning the Christian martyr Ianuarius and the construction of a basilica in the 4th century.
The archaeological site sits near National Road 7, approximately 30 kilometers east of Tlemcen, with coordinates at 34.886389 latitude and -1.024778 longitude.
A bronze axe discovered at the site represents one of the few prehistoric artifacts found within the ancient settlement's boundaries.
