Turres in Byzacena was a Roman and Vandal era colonia (city) in North Africa.

The exact location of the town is unknown but is probably the ruins at Tamarza or nearby ruins of Msilica.[1] Tamarza is located close to the Algerian border, 70 km from Tozeur and is surrounded by steep and arid wild country. The site is renowned for its clear water cascades and springs that irrigate the town's park.[2]
