Haïdra, Archaeological site in Western Tunisia

The site contains the remains of a vast Byzantine fortress measuring 200 meters long and 110 meters wide, with walls reaching 10 meters in height.

The Roman city of Ammaedara was established in the first century BC as a permanent military camp to control the northwestern border of Roman Tunisia.

The archaeological findings include multiple Roman mausoleums, legionary graves from Gaul and Italy, and religious structures reflecting both Christian and Vandal influences.

Visitors can reach the site by taking a train from Tunis to Kalaat Khabasa station, followed by an 11-mile journey to the archaeological complex.

The site features a Roman triumphal arch from 197 AD, known as Septimius Severus Arch, which stands preserved within the Byzantine fortification walls.
