Tebessa Basilica, Byzantine basilica ruins in Tébessa, Algeria.
The Tebessa Basilica features multiple naves, a large staircase, and an open-air atrium with a four-lobed fountain at its center.
The structure transformed from a military building into a religious center during the fourth and fifth centuries, with modifications under Roman and Byzantine leaders.
The basilica became a pilgrimage destination dedicated to Saint Crispina, who faced martyrdom in 305 CE during the Christian persecutions.
Visitors can explore the remains of the Roman complex, which includes a bathhouse, ground-floor stables, and auxiliary structures from different construction periods.
The site contains evidence of architectural transitions through time, displaying both military and religious functions in its structural elements and decorative features.
