Cirta, Ancient Roman archaeological site in Constantine, Algeria.
The remains of Cirta stretch across a rocky plateau at 574 meters elevation, featuring stone structures, temples, and defensive walls from multiple civilizations.
The city transformed from a Numidian-Punic settlement in 300 BCE to the capital of Roman Numidia, before Emperor Constantine rebuilt it in 313 CE.
Excavations at Cirta have revealed detailed mosaics, Punic inscriptions, and architectural elements that demonstrate the fusion of Roman and North African styles.
The archaeological site contains multiple sections accessible through designated pathways, with the main excavation areas concentrated around the ancient city center.
The Hofra cemetery near Cirta contains numerous Punic inscriptions and burial chambers carved into rock faces, documenting religious practices across centuries.
