Tipasa was a colonia in Roman province Mauretania Caesariensis, nowadays called Tipaza, and located in coastal central Algeria.
Since 2002, it has been declared by UNESCO a World Heritage Site. There was another city with the same name: Tipasa in Numidia.
Initially the city was a small ancient Punic trading-post conquered by Ancient Rome
and turned into a military colony by the emperor Claudius for the conquest of the kingdoms of Mauretania.
Afterwards it became a municipium called Colonia Aelia Augusta Tipasensium,
that reached the population of 20,000 inhabitants in the fourth century according to historian Gsell.
The Roman city was built on three small hills which overlooked the sea, nearly 20 km east from Caesarea (capital of Mauretania Caesariensis).
Of the houses, most of which stood on the central hill, no traces remain; but there are ruins of three churches —
the Great Basilica and the Basilica Alexander on the western hill, and the Basilica of St Salsa on the eastern hill, two cemeteries, the baths, theatre, amphitheatre and nymphaeum.
The line of the ramparts can be distinctly traced and at the foot of the eastern hill the remains of the ancient harbour.
The basilicas are surrounded by cemeteries, which are full of coffins, all of stone and covered with mosaics.
The basilica of St. Salsa, which has been excavated by Stéphane Gsell, consists of a nave and two aisles, and still contains a mosaic.
The Great Basilica served for centuries as a quarry, but it is still possible to make out the plan of the building, which was divided into seven aisles.
Under the foundations of the church are tombs hewn out of the solid rock. Of these one is circular, with a diameter of 18 m and space for 24 coffins.
Tipasa was partially destroyed by the Vandals in 430 AD, but was rebuilt by the Byzantines one century later.
At the end of the seventh century the city was destroyed by the Arabs and reduced to ruins.
In 1857 was settled again the area, with the creation of the city of Tipaza that now has nearly 30,000 inhabitants.
The town and its surroundings is home to the largest Berber-speaking group of western Algeria, the Chenoua people.

The M'zab is a natural region of the northern Sahara Desert in Ghardaïa Province, Algeria.
It is located 600 km south of Algiers and there are approximately 360,000 inhabitants.
The Mozabites (At Mzab) are a branch of a large Berber tribe, the Iznaten, which lived in large areas of middle southern Algeria.
Many Tifinagh letters and symbols are engraved around the Mzab Valley.
After the Muslim conquest of the Maghreb, the Mozabites became Muslims of the Mu'tazili school.
After the fall of the Rostemid state, the Rostemid royal family with some of their citizens chose the Mzab Valley as their refuge.
However, the Rostemids were Ibadi and sent a preacher who successfully converted the indigenous Mozabites.
France occupied Algeria in 1830 and removed it from Ottoman domination.
The M'zab was annexed to France only in 1882 and reverted to Algerian indigenous rule in summer 1962 upon its national independence.
Ghardaia is the main town and capital of the M'zab, while el-Ateuf is the oldest settlement in the region.
Beni Isguene is the most sacred Berber Islamic town.
It prohibits all non-M'zabites from various sections of this town and all foreigners from spending the night within its walls.
Melika is populated by a kabily town named Mlikch which is untell now located near Bouira city,
and it contains spacious cemeteries and a historical Mosque in the center of the K'sar, while Bounoura is a historical K'sar which contain Azwil palm grove, while El-Guerrara and Berriane have been part of the M'zab since the 17th century.
There are five qsur walled villages located on rocky outcrops along the Wəd Mzab collectively known as the Pentapolis.
They are Ghardaïa Tagherdayt, the principal settlement today; Beni Isguen At Isjen; Melika At Mlishet; Bounoura At Bunur; and El Atteuf Tajnint.
Adding the more recent settlements of Bérianne and El Guerrara, the Mzab Heptapolis is completed.
The combination of the functional purism of the Ibāḍī faith with the oasian way of life has led to a strict organization of land and space.
Each citadel has a fortress-like mosque, whose minaret served as a watchtower.
Houses of standard size and type were constructed in concentric circles around the mosque.
The architecture of the M'zab settlements was designed for egalitarian communal living, with respect for family privacy.
The Mzab building style is of Libyan-Phoenician type, more specifically of Berber style and has been replicated in other parts of the Sahara.
In the summer, the Mzabites migrated to 'summer citadels' centred on palm grove oases.
This is one of the major oasis groups of the Sahara Desert, and is bounded by arid country known as chebka, crossed by dry river beds.
The Mzab Valley was listed as a UNESCO World Heritage Site in 1982, as an intact example of traditional human habitat perfectly adapted to the environment.

Djémila, formerly Cuicul, is a small mountain village in Algeria, near the northern coast east of Algiers.
It is situated in the region bordering the Constantinois and Petite Kabylie.
In 1982, Djémila became a UNESCO World Heritage Site for its unique adaptation of Roman architecture to a mountain environment.
Significant buildings in ancient Cuicul include a theatre, two fora, temples, basilicas, arches, streets, and houses.
The exceptionally well preserved ruins surround the forum of the Harsh, a large paved square with an entry marked by a majestic arch.
Under the name of Cuicul, the city was built at 900 meters of altitude during the 1st century AD as a Roman military garrison situated on a narrow triangular plateau in the province of Numidia.
The terrain is somewhat rugged, being located at the confluence of two rivers.
Cuicul's builders followed a standard plan with a forum at the center and two main streets, the Cardo Maximus and the Decumanus Maximus, composing the major axes.
The city was initially populated by a colony of Roman soldiers from Italy, and eventually grew to become a large trading market.
During the reign of Caracalla in the 3rd century, Cuicul's administrators took down some of the old ramparts and constructed a new forum.
They surrounded it with larger and more impressive edifices than those that bordered the old forum.
The terrain hindered building, so that they built the theatre outside the town walls, which was exceptional.
Christianity became very popular in the 4th century and brought the addition of a basilica and baptistry.
They are to the south of Cuicul in a quarter called Christian, and are popular attractions.
The city was slowly abandoned after the fall of the Roman Empire around the 5th century and 6th century.
There was some improvements under emperor Justinianus I, with Wall reinforcements.
Muslims later dominated the region, but did not reoccupy the site of Cuicul, which they renamed Djémila (beautiful in Arabic).

Algeria has been inhabited by Berbers (or Imazighen) since at least 10,000 BC. After 1000 BC, the Carthaginians began establishing settlements along the coast. The Berbers seized the opportunity offered by the Punic Wars to become independent of Carthage, and Berber kingdoms began to emerge, most notably Numidia. In 200 BC, however, they were once again taken over, this time by the Roman Republic. When the Western Roman Empire collapsed, Berbers became independent again in many areas, while the Vandals took control over other parts, where they remained until expelled by the generals of the Byzantine Emperor, Justinian I. The Byzantine Empire then retained a precarious grip on the east of the country until the coming of the Arabs in the eighth century.
Having converted the Kutama of Kabylie to its cause, the Shia Fatimids overthrew the Rustamids, and conquered Egypt. They left Algeria and Tunisia to their Zirid vassals; when the latter rebelled and adopted Sunnism, the Shia Fatimids sent in the Banu Hilal, a populous Arab tribe, to weaken them. This initiated the Arabization of the region. The Almoravids and Almohads, Berber dynasties from the west founded by religious reformers, brought a period of relative peace and development; however, with the Almohads' collapse, Algeria became a battleground for their three successor states, the Algerian Zayyanids, Tunisian Hafsids, and Moroccan Marinids. In the fifteenth and sixteenth centuries, the Spanish Empire started attacking and subsuming a few Algerian coastal settlements.
Algeria was brought into the Ottoman Empire by Khair ad-Din and his brother Aruj in 1517, and they established Algeria's modern boundaries in the north and made its coast a base for the Ottoman corsairs; their privateering peaked in Algiers in the 1600s. Piracy on American vessels in the Mediterranean resulted in the First (1801--1805) and Second Barbary War (1815) with the United States. The piracy acts forced people captured on the boats into slavery; alternatively when the pirates attacked coastal villages in southern and western Europe the inhabitants were forced into slavery.[4] Raids by Barbary pirates on Western Europe did not cease until 1816, when a Royal Navy raid, assisted by six Dutch vessels, destroyed the port of Algiers and its fleet of Barbary ships. Spanish occupation of Algerian ports at this time was a source of concern for the local inhabitants.
The head of state is the President of Algeria, who is elected to a five year term and is constitutionally limited to two terms. Algeria has suffrage for Islamic men at 30 years of age.[1] The President is the head of the Council of Ministers and of the High Security Council. He appoints the Prime Minister who is also the head of government. The Prime Minister appoints the Council of Ministers.
The Algerian parliament is bicameral, consisting of a lower chamber, the National People's Assembly (APN), with 380 members; and an upper chamber, the Council Of Nation, with 144 members. The APN is elected every five years.
Under the 1976 constitution (as modified 1979, and amended in 1988, 1989, and 1996) Algeria is a multi-party state. All parties must be approved by the Ministry of the Interior. To date, Algeria has had more than 40 legal political parties. According to the constitution, no political association may be formed if it is based on differences in religion, language, race, gender or region.Algeria is currently divided into 48 provinces (wilayas), 553 districts (daïras) and 1,541 municipalities (communes, baladiyahs). Each province, district, and municipality is named after its seat, which is mostly also the largest city.
According to the Algerian constitution, a province is a territorial collectivity enjoying some economic freedom. The People's Provincial Assembly is the political entity governing a province, which has a president, who is elected by the members of the assembly. They are in turn elected on universal suffrage every five years. The Wali (Prefect or governor) directs each province. This person is chosen by the Algerian President to handle the PPA's decisions.
