Aggar, Archaeological site in Kairouan Governorate, Tunisia

The archaeological site of Aggar features a Byzantine citadel with square towers at each corner, measuring 30 meters on each side.

During the 3rd century, Aggar evolved from a municipium to a colonia, marking its growth as an administrative center in Roman North Africa.

The remains of the triumphal gate and porticoed square reveal the architectural practices and urban planning methods of ancient Roman settlements.

The site requires sturdy walking shoes and sun protection, as the ruins spread across an exposed area with uneven terrain.

The two-tiered mausoleum of C. Marius Romanius stands as one of the few remaining examples of Roman funerary architecture in the region.
