Algeria: Eternal Numidia, the Enduring Legacy of Rome
You will discover the city frozen in time: Timgad
Tipasa, where Rome meets the sea
Djemilla, mosaicos históricos entre montañas
Strictly limited to 10 spots. Accompanied by Dr. Irene Cordón
Ancient Numidia guards some of the Mediterranean’s most extraordinary Roman archaeological sites. And it does so in silence, almost in private.
A country unknown to most travelers, yet it was once the granary of Rome and a crossroads for Punic, Berber, Roman, and Christian cultures.
Various locations across Algeria achieved a splendor that can still be felt today within their forums, thermal baths, basilicas, and paved Roman roads.
On this journey, accompanied by Dr. Irene Cordón, we will explore these archaeological gems far from the overwhelming crowds found elsewhere. Silence is a privilege we will learn to appreciate, beautifully paired with the masterly insights of Dr. Cordón, who will give voice to the stones and bring history to life with compelling, narrative passion.
Our itinerary naturally follows the footsteps of the man who reshaped Western thought: Augustine of Hippo (Saint Augustine). We will visit Thagaste and Madaurus. Along this path, we will marvel at the grandeur of Timgad, Djemila, Constantine, and Tiddis.
A journey designed for those seeking depth in places few have ever visited—where the architectural generosity of Rome, the roots of early Christian thought, and the Berber civilization seamlessly converged. This is why Numidia remains eternal
