Archaeological sites of Djerba

The archaeological sites of Djerba form an ensemble of ancient remains located on the island of Djerba, in southeastern Tunisia. Testifying to several millennia of human occupation, these sites reflect the historical, cultural, and religious richness of an island that long served as a strategic crossroads in the Mediterranean Basin. From the Protohistoric period to the Roman era, through the Punic and Numidian periods, Djerba preserves remarkable traces of urban planning, cult practices, economic activities, and funerary traditions.
