Lixus

 ruins, archaeological site, Roman Empire

Lixus ancient city site is located on the right bank of the river Loukkos, about 4 km from its mouth. Lixus is built on a hill known among locals as the place name Tchemich.
The earliest mention dates back to the journey of Pseudo Scylax (fourth century BC.), Makes "Lixos" a Phoenician city. Indications of a little more detail is provided by other ancient texts, especially that of Pliny, which places one of the exploits of Hercules (the collection of golden apples of the Hesperides gardens) and to Lixus Lixus like this older Phoenician colony of the West Mediterranean (XII century BC.), indicating that the temple of Lixus is older than Gades.

Archaeological research undertaken at the site since the twenties and continues to this day as part of partnership programs have provided important data on the different phases of the long history of the site.
