Turris Tamalleni

Turris Tamalleni was a town in North Africa,[1] dating from the Carthageinian, Roman, Byzantine and Vandal era.

[7] It was renamed in the 1st century C. Civitas Nybgenorium, and remained the center of the Nybgenii Tribe[8] and the name Turres being probably the indigenous name.

[12] It is mentioned in the Antonine Itinerary on the road on the borders of Tripoli and Leptis Magna.

All that remains of the ancient town is two large irrigation basins separated by a wall, which were restored in 1780 by the Bey of Tunis, they form a lake of one hectare.

[15] The Bishopric founded in the fourth century ceased to function with the arrival of the Arab forces, but remains a titular see of the Roman Catholic Church.
