Of the three cities that formed the African Tripolis, Sabratha was the smallest. Today, it is the second-largest archaeological site of the "Tripolitaine." Its well-preserved theatre is its main archaeological attraction and the highlight of any visit to this ancient city. Built between 161 and 192 A.D., it continues to be used as an arena for performances and concerts today. The town of Sabratha has grown up in between the ruins of several public baths, temples, fountains, and mosaics, which adds a special charm, and its museum is a must-see, with exhibits ranging from statues to small coins.
