Ruins of Hippo (Hippo Regius)

You don't even hear about this place until you're passing by Annaba, all the care and fame goes to other monuments and historic places in Algeria and not this one even if this is one of the most ancients ruins in the country. Facing the Saint Augustin cathedral the view is impressive, and is known to the Catholics as a place of pilgrimage, the rest of the ruins are still beneath earth, wondering what the archeologists will reveal if they had the green light to do it. If you're passing by just give it a visit and insist to make the tour with the local guide as he can give you the history behind this place with a classical Algerian annabi tongue.

Hippo Regius is an ancient royal city where Numidians, Romans lived together. The sight is amazing and attractive it helps imagine how the city was in those ages. The guardians there are quit friendly. However, it lacks cleaning and entertain.

Huge old city, beautiful site, very well preserved!!! It was amazing! I definitely recommend everyone to visit.

This archeological site is so beautiful specially that when you be in it the cathedral of saint Augustine face you .

Nice and interesting place to visit but unfortunately we found no guides.

It was an amazing day full of discovery and loving people

This place is as important as Pompeii. However, it lacks funding, because few tourists still visit Algeria. So there is not enough maintenance nor security. Let's hope this changes soon!

Amazing and beautiful. Extremely helpful staff in explaining the various ruins and displays.
