Plan of timgad

In the center we can see the arch of trajan.

 

Subsequent excavations of the city led to its designation as a World Heritage Site by UNESCO in 1982. Many Timgad ruins still stand today, including its signature arch—known as the "Arch of Trajan"—and its theater, which still hosts the occasional concert.

Timgad is an enduring symbol of Roman history. This ancient site offers a rare look at how Romans lived centuries ago.
