  • 5. Dougga Beja Governorate
    Dougga or Thugga was a Berber and Roman settlement near present-day Téboursouk in northern Tunisia. The current archaeological site covers 65 hectares . 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.

Amongst the most famous monuments at the site are a Libyco-Punic Mausoleum, the capitol, the theater, and the temples of Saturn and of Juno Caelesti...
