Statue of Marcus Aurelius, Roman ruins, Dougga Archaeological Site, UNESCO World Heritage Site, Tunisia - stock photo

Dougga or Thugga is an ancient Roman city in northern Tunisia, included in a 65 hectare archaeological site. UNESCO qualified Dougga as a World Heritage Site in 1997, believing that it represents the best preserved Roman small town in North Africa. The site, which lies in the middle of the countryside, has been protected from the encroachment of modern urbanization, in contrast, for example, to Carthage, which has been pillaged and rebuilt on numerous occasions. Thuggas size, its well preserved monuments and its rich Numidian Berber, Punic, ancient Roman and Byzantine history make it exceptional. Amongst the most famous monuments at the site are a Libyco Punic Mausoleum, the capitol, the theatre, and the temples of Saturn and of Juno Caelestis.
