`Beautiful` city.. one of the Roman pearls in Algeria

Arabiaweather.com- Ismail Qasimi- A beautiful ancient city, a masterpiece of the history of the Romans in Algeria, and one of the important monuments that still preserves its originality and the form of Roman civilization. Recreation and meditation.

This Roman city is characterized by architectural engineering of great beauty, meticulous accuracy, and many facilities that are still evident today, especially columns, symmetrical decorations, streets, and houses.

The Roman city of Gamila occupies an area of 42 hectares, and it is located in the wilaya of Setif, 35 km from the state capital and about 300 km from the Algerian capital.

The history of Jamila dates back to the end of the first century and the beginning of the second century of the era of the Roman Empire under the leadership of Emperor Neova. It was classified as a UNESCO World Heritage Site due to the Roman ruins that are still prominent in the region, the most famous of which is the ancient Coicolle Amphitheater.

There are two public squares in Jamila, the first is surrounded by the Capitol, the municipal council meeting hall, the court, and the Temple of Venus, and the second square is surrounded by the Triumphal Arch of Caracalla, the temple built in honor of the Severus family, the baths, the market, and the elegant houses.

Perhaps the city's excellent geographical location in the state of Setif or Stevis, which means black or fertile land, has played a major role in the development of the city. The city reached its height during the reign of the Antonine family.

Visitors must stand in amazement and enjoy the city's history, which dates back to the first century of Roman civilization. Everyone who visited the city was impressed and amazed by the urban design at that time.

An international festival is currently held in this ancient city every year for Arabic songs, and the festival takes place in the ancient Sawiris Theatre.
