Tisavar, Roman castellum near Ksar Ghilane, Tunisia.
The stone fortress Tisavar stretches across 1200 square meters in the desert landscape, featuring thick walls and rounded corner towers.
Built during Emperor Commodus reign in the second century, this fortification marked the southern border of the Roman Empire in North Africa.
The military compound includes a temple dedicated to Jupiter and twenty barracks that housed soldiers from the Third Legion Augustus.
The archaeological site remains open throughout the day and visitors can reach it through guided tours departing from Kebili Governorate.
Natural hot springs emerge near the ancient fortress walls, creating an unexpected meeting point between thermal waters and Roman architecture.
