The city where you still see the footprints of History

As we walk through the ancient streets of Timgad, Algeria, we literally follow in the footsteps of history. This remarkable image captures the worn-out stone pavements, etched with the indelible marks left by Roman cars and carriages more than two millennia ago.

Founded by Emperor Trajan in 100 AD, Timgad was a thriving Roman colony, a testament to the Roman Empire’s engineering and urban planning prowess.

These deep grooves serve as a tangible reminder of the bustling activity that once brought this city to life, a place where merchants, soldiers, and citizens converged, whose lives crossed along these very paths.

Timgad is declared a UNESCO World Heritage Site and preserves the legacy of Roman civilization in North Africa.
