Dougga (ancient Thugga) is a multi‑period archaeological site with Numidian‑Berber, Punic, Roman and Byzantine phases. The site covers roughly 75 hectares and includes prominent monuments such as a Libyco‑Punic mausoleum (part of the necropolis areas), the Capitol, a Roman theatre, and temples of Saturn and Juno Caelestis. UNESCO inscribed Dougga as a World Heritage Site in 1997, describing it as an exceptionally well‑preserved example of a Roman small town in North Africa. Modern guidebooks and tour operators treat Dougga as an active and protected archaeological site open to visitors. The supplied sources focus on historical, architectural and heritage values and provide no documentation of supernatural occurrences associated with the necropolis or other areas of the site.
