Tiddis, Archaeological site in Constantine Province, Algeria

The ruins of Tiddis stretch across forty hectares of terraced buildings on a hillside, featuring ancient structures carved into rocky formations.

Established in the 3rd century as Castellum Tidditanorum, Tiddis functioned as a Roman military outpost protecting the region of Cirta, modern-day Constantine.

The site contains religious structures from multiple periods, including sanctuaries dedicated to Roman deities Ceres, Vesta, and Mithra, alongside Christian baptisteries.

Visitors reach the site through a 28-kilometer road from Constantine, with guided tours typically starting at 9 AM and lasting approximately 2.5 hours.

The extensive water management system includes numerous cisterns and tanks filled from mountain springs, demonstrating ancient solutions to water scarcity.
