Dougga, Archaeological site in northern Tunisia
The 65-hectare complex contains temples, a theater seating 3500 people, bathhouses, and residential areas spread across a hillside overlooking olive groves.
The settlement originated as a Berber community in the 6th century BCE before developing into a prosperous Roman city with distinct administrative zones.
The Libyco-Punic Mausoleum represents the architectural achievements of pre-Roman North Africa through its detailed bilingual inscriptions and structural design.
The archaeological site operates from 8:30 AM to 5:30 PM during winter months and 8:00 AM to 7:00 PM during summer season.
The site maintains dual architectural elements from parallel communities that existed simultaneously: the indigenous population and Roman settlers.
