Data
[edit | edit source]With its multiple wings, the museum specializes in Berber history and area wildlife.[1] It includes archaeological remains from Ghadames dating to the Roman period, when it was named Cydamus. There are some column bases of a Roman temple in a section of the Museum.
Columns of the Christian church of Cydamus still remain in the "Sīdī Badrī" Mosque (the oldest in Libya):[2] one is expected to be moved inside the Ghadames Museum.
The museum is one of the most visited places in the city by the tourists.
