الخصائص المعمارية و الفنية لعمران مدينة تيهرت الرستمية (160-296هـ _777-909م)‎ : دراسة أثرية

Abstract EN

The physical evidence extracted from the archaeological site of Tihert, located about 8 kilometers west of the modern-day city of Tiaret, is considered an important resource for studying the archaeological and urban characteristics of Tihert, a city founded in the 2nd century AH under the leadership of the Rustamid family, especially since the historical sources about the city's urbanization do not provide more than a general description of some of the buildings and their types.

However, contrasting historical resources with the archaeological study of the city's ruins distributed throughout the whole of the archaeological site has enabled us to determine and identify the city's architectural strategy and facility types (e.

g.

, religious, civil, military) in addition to the followed construction and decoration techniques, comparing it to ones known in the Islamic Maghreb at that time.

This helps us to determine the uniqueness of the architectural characteristics during this period as it is considered a reflection of the first steps of the urban and artistic architectural development of the Islamic Maghreb.
