Arch of Caracalla, Triumphal arch in Djemila, Algeria.
The arch stands 12.5 meters tall and 10.6 meters wide, featuring Corinthian columns and niches that housed imperial family statues.
Local inhabitants of Cuicul constructed this monument in 216 CE to honor Emperor Caracalla, his mother Julia Domna, and his father Septimius Severus.
The arch displays a combination of Roman architectural elements and North African craftsmanship through its columns, pedestals, and detailed stone carvings.
Visitors can examine the dedicatory inscription above the arch and observe the three pedestals that supported statues of the imperial family members.
In 1839, French Prince Ferdinand Philippe developed plans to relocate this arch to Paris, but his death in 1842 prevented the transportation.
