COLUMN TRACK

Starting at the height of the nymphée, the path to the Columns, drawn from the cord, stretched 420 m to the Roman port. It was 50 m wide, or 20 m between columns. Each side of the avenue had 125 columns on which the arches, without entablements, were directly rooted in Islamic architecture. This imposing avenue was part of the great beautification works of the city carried out in the early th century under the reign of Emperor Septime Sévère and was built at the initial geographic location of the Oued, which was built in the Punic city, the wadiLebda. The course was hijacked prior to construction as part of the construction of the port at the same time.
