| Djemila Roman Theatre |
The remarkable heritage site of Djemila, is one of the most significant place in Algeria. It embodies the perfect expressions of the meeting of Roman power and African beauty despite of its early history lost. The town survival can trace its origins as far back as the 1st century. Here, you will come closer to understanding Roman aesthetic: the marriage of order and beauty; as the French writer Albert Camus observed, ‘a lesson in love and patience’.

| Djemila Arch |
Djemila's geographic position has become this heritage site's advantage. It is above 900m sea level on a spur of land created by two mountain rivers that is surrounded by rolling hills. The early years were some of the best: enhancements took place but the progress has not taken its success to a grand city. It has become the UNESCO World Heritage Site in 1982 for its adaptation of the unique Roman architecture built to a mountain environment.
The beauty of the well preserved ruins surround the forum of the Harsh, gives a dramatic entrance to the large pave square through a majestic arch.
