Leptis Magna Things to Do

The area has been heavily looted, the temples, basilica and curia are all gone.

This would have been the centre of the original settlement at Leptis Magna, at around the 7th century BC.

The building dates from the Trajan period, when it was a temple. Later, during the Byzantine period, it was converted to a Christian Church.

This enormous marble block which David is standing in front of, would have been on top of the 9m high pillars. There would have been inscriptions leading all the way around the room.

Although temporarily reconstructed to only one storey, the pulpit from where the Bishop would have conducted his sermon, would have been two storeys high.
