193 DZ - Tipasa (1982)

Brief Description

"On the shores of the Mediterranean, Tipasa was an ancient Punic trading-post conquered by Rome and turned into a strategic base for the conquest of the kingdoms of Mauritania. It comprises a unique group of Phoenician, Roman, palaeochristian and Byzantine ruins alongside indigenous monuments such as the Kbor er Roumia, the great royal mausoleum of Mauritania."

提帕萨

"蒂帕萨位于地中海海滨,原是古罗马统治下古迦太基人的贸易港,后成为征服毛利塔尼亚王国的战略基地。该遗址不仅有一系列腓尼基人、 罗马人、古基督教和拜占庭时期的独特建筑群遗迹,还有当地的古迹,如宏伟的毛里塔尼亚皇家陵墓——克博·埃尔·罗米亚(Kbor er Roumia)。"
