Tipasa

Located 70 km west of Algiers, on the shores of the Mediterranean Sea, Tipasa is a serial property inscribed in 1982 on the World Heritage List. An ancient Punic trading post, which was occupied by Rome, which made it a strategic base for the conquest of the Mauritanian kingdoms, Tipasa is a unique complex of Phoenician, Roman, early Christian and Byzantine remains, together with indigenous monuments. The property is composed of three sites: two archaeological parks (East and West) located near the present urban agglomeration and the Royal Mausoleum of Mauritania, situated on the Western Sahel Plateau of Algiers, 11 km south-east of Tipasa.
