Caesarea in Mauretania

Remains of the Forum of Caesarea Mauretaniae.

Caesarea in Mauretania (Latin: Caesarea Mauretaniae, meaning "Caesarea of Mauretania") was a Roman colony in Roman-Berber North Africa.[1] It was the capital of Mauretania Caesariensis[2] and is now called Cherchell, in modern Algeria.

In the present time Caesarea is used as a titular see for Catholic and Eastern Orthodox bishops.
