Brief Description

"Located in a strange lunar landscape of great geological interest, this site has one of the most important groupings of prehistoric cave art in the world. More than 15,000 drawings and engravings record the climatic changes, the animal migrations and the evolution of human life on the edge of the Sahara from 6000 BC to the first centuries of the present era. The geological formations are of outstanding scenic interest, with eroded sandstones forming ‘forests of rock’."

阿杰尔的塔西利

"该遗址所在地环境独特，如同月球表面，极具地质学研究意义，是世界上最重要的史前岩洞艺术群之一。15,000多幅绘画和雕刻作品 记录了公元前6000年至公元初几个世纪撒哈拉沙漠边缘地区的气候变化、动物迁徙和人类生活进化。当地的地质构成形态有着极高的观赏价值，被侵蚀的砂岩形 成了“石林”。 "

"Timgad lies on the northern slopes of the Aurès mountains and was created ex nihilo as a military colony by the Emperor Trajan in AD 100. With its square enclosure and orthogonal design based on the cardo and decumanus, the two perpendicular routes running through the city, it is an excellent example of Roman town planning."

188 DZ - M'Zab Valley (1982)

Brief Description

"A traditional human habitat, created in the 10th century by the Ibadites around their five ksour (fortified cities), has been preserved intact in the M’Zab valley. Simple, functional and perfectly adapted to the environment, the architecture of M’Zab was designed for community living, while respecting the structure of the family. It is a source of inspiration for today’s urban planners."

姆扎卜山谷

"这是一个传统的人类居住地，由伊巴底人（the Ibadites）于十世纪围绕五座城邦修建而成，完整保存在姆扎卜山谷中。姆扎卜建筑简朴、实用，完美地与环境融为了一体。姆扎卡的建筑结构视为群体居 住而设计的，但同时也考虑到了家庭的结构，当今城市建筑的设计者可以此为借鉴。"
