Tipaza, Roman archaeological site in Tipaza, Algeria
The remnants of ancient Tipaza extend along the Mediterranean coast, featuring Roman structures, thermal baths, basilicas, and an amphitheater spanning multiple hectares.
The settlement developed from a Phoenician trading post into a Roman military colony under Emperor Claudius, reaching a population of 20,000 residents by the fourth century.
The archaeological complex illustrates the intersection of Roman, Punic, Christian, and African architectural styles through its temples, burial grounds, and religious buildings.
The archaeological park maintains regular visiting hours from 8 AM to 6 PM, with guided tours available in multiple languages through the site office.
A longwave transmitter near the archaeological site broadcasts Algerian radio programs that reach European countries on the 252 kHz frequency.
