Dougga

Dougga - one of the most beautiful historical sites in Tunisia, is home to the exceptionally well-preserved ruins of an ancient site that was once home to a variety of cultures, including the Numidians, Punics, ancient Greeks, and Romans.

Dougga was designated as a World Heritage Site by UNESCO in 1997 due to its exceptional level of preservation and diverse cultural influences. Dougga is one of Africa's most stunning archaeological sites, with a wealth of fascinating sites. Make time to see Dougga's spectacular remains, which span 70 hectares and include the theater, an amphitheater, and temples dedicated to Juno Caelestis and Saturn.

Pass beneath Alexander Severus' triumphal Arch and into the shadow of the towering Capitole, which was completed around 166 AD. The temple is in excellent shape, with ten-meter-high walls decorated with fluted columns and a colossal figure of Jupiter originally housed within. A carved frieze showing Emperor Antonius Pius being carried away by eagles can be seen if you look closely.
