AlgeriaTipasa (c. 6th c. BC – 6th c. AD) began as a trading post on Algeria's central coast before Rome transformed it into a strategic colonial base for conquering Mauretania [1] [2]. The site preserves a unique layered heritage—Phoenician, Roman, palaeochristian and Byzantine ruins standing together [1]. UNESCO inscribed Tipasa as a World Heritage Site in 1982, listing it as in danger from 2002–2006 before successful conservation efforts removed it from the danger list [1] [2].
