Royal Mausoleum of Mauretania
Royal Mausoleum of Mauretania, Ancient mausoleum in Sidi Rached, Algeria.
The Royal Mausoleum of Mauretania features a circular design with a square base measuring 60.9 meters and reaches a height of 32.4 meters.
The mausoleum dates back to 3 BC when King Juba II commissioned it as the burial site for himself and his wife Cleopatra Selene II.
The architectural design combines Roman and Egyptian elements, reflecting the mixed heritage of the royal couple who ruled over ancient Mauretania.
The monument stands between Cherchell and Algiers, with access available through guided tours that explain the historical significance of the structure.
The mausoleum survived an Ottoman destruction attempt in 1555 when a swarm of wasps forced the attackers to abandon their mission.
