Archaeology[edit]
A cemetery dating back to the Roman period, featuring hypogea with adorned entrances, sprawled in ancient times across a 200-meter area on the slopes of Jebel Doueili, situated to the west and northwest of the village. Photographic evidence suggests the presence of hypogea excavated at various levels on the cliff face. Four of these hypogea bore inscriptions, with three dating back to the period between 221 and 235 AD.[2]
