Sabratha

Sabratha is an archaeological site on the Mediterranean coast of western Libya, approximately 70 km west of modern Tripoli. In antiquity it formed the westernmost of the three cities of Roman Tripolis together with Oea (Tripoli) and Leptis Magna, and the visible remains include substantial Roman-era urban fabric that has attracted scholarly and tourist attention. The extant ruins were inscribed as a UNESCO World Heritage Site in 1982, recognizing their outstanding universal value for archaeology and cultural heritage. The modern town of Sabratha contains civic institutions; a medical study of lymphoma patients recorded a National Oncology Institute in Sabratha registering cases between 2013 and 2015, indicating active modern infrastructure in the town during that period.
