Mausoleum of Blad Guitoun, Numidian mausoleum in Si-Mustapha, Algeria.
The octagonal structure rises 4.5 meters high with a central chamber measuring 3.6 meters in diameter, displaying Hellenistic architectural elements.
Colonel Maximilien Joseph Schauenburg discovered the mausoleum during the night of May 17-18, 1837, leading to subsequent archaeological investigations.
The mausoleum incorporates symbolic decorations including chalices and fish motifs, representing the fusion of Numidian artistic traditions.
The monument stands at coordinates 36.722897, 3.620128, approximately 60 kilometers east of Algiers in the Boumerdes region.
Local residents named the structure El-Habs, meaning prison, due to its unusual construction and limited accessibility.
