The Mausoleum of Gasr Doga is an ancient mausoleum dating from the first century CE, located near Tarhuna, Libya.[1]
The mausoleum, dubbed "one of the most imposing funerary monuments of ancient Tripolitania",[1] was built by a member of the local Libyco-Punic elite, and its architectural composition evokes the style of royal Numidian monuments. Its decorative elements reflect a fusion of local artistic traditions and imported motifs from Italy.[1]
During Late Antiquity and the Islamic era, the mausoleum became the nucleus of a fortified settlement, predominantly built using spolia sourced from the mausoleum itself.[1]
