The story

Djemila Arab Music Festival in Djemila

A summer Arab music festival staged inside the ancient Roman theater of Djemila, a UNESCO World Heritage site in Algeria's mountains built in 161 CE and originally seating three thousand people arranged by strict social rank, pairing nearly two thousand years of stone engineering with a living regional musical tradition.

Djemila's Roman theater, built in 161 CE during the reign of Marcus Aurelius and Lucius Verus and once seating three thousand spectators arranged by social rank, senators and knights closest to the stage, ordinary citizens further back, sits within a UNESCO World Heritage site inscribed in 1982 for its unusual adaptation of Roman city planning to steep mountain terrain.

What is special

The part that makes it specific.

01

The place changes

The Djemila theater was built in 161 CE with a seating arrangement that reflected Roman social hierarchy, senators and knights nearest the stage, ordinary citizens in the upper tiers, and it sits within a UNESCO-listed site specifically recognized for adapting standard Roman town planning to unusually steep mountain terrain

02

The mystery stays covered

Hosting an Arab music festival inside this working piece of ancient engineering, rather than a modern concert hall, gives the event a physical link between contemporary regional music and nearly two thousand years of continuous performance history at the same site
