Thigibba Hammam Zouakra is a necropolis and archaeological site in Tunisia featuring modified dolmens dating from 500 BC to 1 AD[1][2]. The monuments, built using traditional Berber construction techniques, consist of rectangular structures with loose stones piled between two squared stone walls[1]. While the outer facings rise vertically, the inner courses are arranged in corbelling to reduce the surface area requiring coverage by the capstone[1]. The site represents an ancient Berber settlement in the Roman province of Byzacena and was identified as the location of the ancient city of Thigibba, which later became a titular see of the Catholic Church[2].
