AlgeriaThe Royal Mausoleum of Mauretania is a funerary monument located on the road between Cherchell and Algiers, in Tipaza Province, Algeria [1]. The Royal Mausoleum of Mauretania is a common type of ancient mausoleums found in Algeria built on a hill some 250 metres above sea level [1]. The monument is entirely built from stone, while its main structure is in a circular form with a square base topped by a cone or a pyramid [1]. The height of the monument was originally about 40 metres or 130’ in height [1]. The base of the monument was decorated with 60 Ionic columns whose capitals were removed, possibly stolen [1]. The mausoleum was built in 3 BC by the King of Mauretania, Juba II and his wife Cleopatra Selene II [1].
