Tipasa, a town (1987 pop., 7,066) on the Mediterranean coast of Algeria, west of Algiers, is the site of an ancient Phoenician trading post that was conquered by Rome and transformed into a strategic base for further expansion of the empire.
Carthaginian, Roman, Early Christian, and Byzantine ruins are mingled together, along with indigenous structures such as the remarkable mausoleum known as the Kbor er Roumia, or Tomb of the Christian (although it is now known to be pre-Christian).
Also notable are the Early Christian necropolis and the foundations of three churches: the Great Basilica, the Basilica of Saint Salsa, and the Basilica of Alexander, among which fine mosaic decorations have been unearthed.

In his extraordinary survey of militant Islam during the 20th century, Gilles Kepel contrasts the high profile of the FIS at Tipasa and the Muslim Brothers in Cairo with the marked absence of Islamist organisations from the relief effort during the terrible earthquakes in Turkey in 1999.
It's shorthand evidence in support of his thesis, painstakingly tested elsewhere in the book, that Islamism has run out of steam: that its great advances were made in the 1970s and 1980s, and that by the early 1990s, the project was in decline.
