CHEMTOU:
Numidian Altar & Roman Temple
Numidian altar, Chemtou, Tunisia


Numidian altar, Chemtou, Tunisia


It looks almost as if it was new, the Roman temple which was originally was a Numidian altar. Climbing up here you may expect something spectacular, and all you get is a solid platform made from perfectly cut stones.
Among the few things telling about function is the staircase and the vaulted storage chambers. I believe that the ceremonies here must have been performed under open sky.
But the views from here are great, although not of central Chemtou.
