Timgad, Algeria

Why Walk Timgad

Timgad was founded by Emperor Trajan around 100 AD as a retirement colony for Roman soldiers, and its original grid plan is the most perfectly preserved in the Roman world. The complete street layout, triumphal arch, theater, library, and fourteen bath complexes reveal Roman urban planning at its most systematic. Buried by sand after the 7th century, the city was rediscovered in 1881 in remarkable condition. The remoteness of the site means very few visitors, creating an experience of walking through a complete Roman city virtually alone.
