Musti

The Musti archaeological complex contains ruins of temples, a triumphal arch, and a basilica spread across an area of 34 hectares.

The settlement originated in the 3rd century BC under Carthaginian influence and later developed into a Roman town on the route between Carthage and Tebessa.

The architectural remains at Musti demonstrate the transition from Carthaginian to Roman and Byzantine construction methods through temples and religious buildings.

Located 120 kilometers southwest of Carthage at 490 meters above sea level, the site features paths for examining ancient urban structures.

The archaeological site preserves over 500 Latin inscriptions and contains evidence of continuous habitation from the 3rd century BC until the 12th century.
