About this

Leptis Magna

Leptis Magna is an extensive Roman archaeological site located on the Mediterranean coast of Libya, near the modern city of Khoms. The ruins include a well-preserved theater, basilica, forum, market, and harbor structures, reflecting the city’s development from a Phoenician trading post through its peak under Roman rule in the 2nd and 3rd centuries CE. Many of the stone buildings and monuments remain largely intact due to burial under sand for centuries, which protected them from later reuse. The site is recognized as a UNESCO World Heritage property and provides direct evidence of urban planning, trade networks, and architectural practices in the Roman provinces of North Africa.
