Discover Timgad, the “African Pompeii”, an exceptionally well-preserved Roman city listed as a UNESCO World Heritage Site. Founded in 100 AD by the Emperor Trajan, this ancient city boasts cobbled streets, a 3,500-seat theatre, grandiose thermal baths and a majestic triumphal arch. Stroll through this open-air museum, where every stone tells the story of the Romanisation of North Africa. Colourful mosaics, Corinthian columns and the remains of patrician villas bear witness to the prosperity of this military colony that became a jewel of ancient architecture in the Aurès mountains.
