Qal'a Bani Hammad Fort
Qal'at Bani Hammad is a fortified palatine city in Algeria. It was the Hammadid dynasty's first capital in the 11th century, but it is now in ruins. It is in the Hodna Mountains, some 140 miles southeast of Algiers, in the Maghreb. UNESCO designated it a World Heritage Site in 1980 under the name Al Qal'a of Beni Hammad, describing it as "an authentic picture of a fortified Muslim city". The town has four miles of walls, and inside the fortifications are four apartment complexes and Algeria's largest mosque after Mansurah.
It is comparable in design to Kairouan's Grand Mosque, with a 66-foot-tall minaret. Numerous terracotta, jewels, coins, and ceramics have been discovered during excavations, demonstrating the Hammadid dynasty's advanced level of civilization. Among the objects uncovered were many beautiful fountains with lions as motifs. The remains of the emir's palace, known as Dal al-Bahr, include three separate residences separated by gardens and pavilions. The site is filled with ancient treasures.
Stone Circles
Senegambia is a site that consists of four main groupings of stone circles that comprise an exceptional concentration of over 1,000 monuments in a zone 100 kilometers wide along the 350-kilometer-long River Gambia. The four groups, Sine Ngayène, Wanar, Wassu, and Kerbatch, encompass 93 stone circles and numerous tumuli, or burial mounds, some of which have been excavated to uncover materials indicating dates ranging from the third century BC to the sixteenth century AD. The laterite pillarstone circles and burial mounds form a large religious environment that has evolved over the course of more than 1,500 years. It reflects a prosperous, well-organized, and long-lasting society.
