Hippo Regius Museum

Hippo Regius Museum is an archaeological museum in Annaba that displays findings from the ancient city. The collection includes sculptures, floor mosaics, inscriptions, and everyday items that were uncovered during excavations at the site.

The original site was a Numidian settlement before falling under Roman control in ancient times. The museum itself was founded in 1968 to protect these archaeological treasures and make them accessible to the public.

The collection shows objects from different periods that reveal what people valued and how they lived. You can see how trade connections and outside influences shaped daily life in this settlement.

The museum is located south of Annaba's city center and easy to reach. Visitors should plan enough time to explore the exhibits at a comfortable pace, and a guide can help you understand the collections more fully.

A standout piece is a monument commemorating a significant event from the 1st century BCE that is rarely seen in other museums. This object draws visitors interested in early Roman presence in North Africa.
