The site of Djémila is located 50 km north-east of the town of Sétif.
Known under its antique name Cuicul, Djémila is an establishment of an
ancient Roman colony founded during the reign of Nerva (96 - 98 A.D.).
The Roman town occupied a singular defensive position.
Situated 900 m above sea-level, Djémila/Cuicul, with its forum,
temples, basilicas, triumphal arches and houses, is an interesting
example of Roman town planning adapted to a mountain location.
Many many thanks to Riyad who has been so generous with Unesco cards for my collection! :))
