Aggar, Archaeological site in Kairouan Governorate, Tunisia
Aggar is an archaeological site in Kairouan Governorate containing remains of a Byzantine fort with walls and towers. The ruins reveal multiple layers of settlement that span different periods in the area's history.
The settlement began as a Roman administrative center and later transformed into a fortified position under Byzantine control. This shift reflects the changing powers that ruled North Africa during these periods.
The remains of the triumphal gate and porticoed square reveal the architectural practices and urban planning methods of ancient Roman settlements.
Access to the site is straightforward, but the ground is uneven and rocky, so proper footwear is essential. With little vegetation for shade, bring water and head protection.
The two-tiered mausoleum of C. Marius Romanius stands as one of the few remaining examples of Roman funerary architecture in the region.
