Hippo Regius, Roman archaeological site in Annaba, Algeria
The remains of Hippo Regius extend across a large area with ancient streets, public buildings, villas, and a forum measuring 76 by 43 meters.
Originally established by Phoenicians in the 12th century BC, the city reached prominence as a Roman colony and served as Saint Augustine's bishopric until 430 CE.
The archaeological site contains the foundations of multiple religious structures, including a grand basilica with preserved mosaics and a northern-facing central apse.
The entrance to the site begins at the former seafront location, leading visitors through residential areas with visible columns, walls, and decorated floor sections.
The market area features a central platform used for slave sales, while the forum maintains several original columns standing at 3.6 meters in height.
