Djebel-Trozza is a mountain in the Forest of Aala, due east of Al Qayrawan, Tunisia.[1] Djebel Trozza is located at 35° 33' 51"N and 9° 35' 35" E.[2]

There is an abandoned Lead/Zinc mine on the mountain.[citation needed]

On the mountain, Roman Empire ruins are identified as the remains of Tarasa in Byzacena, which is a Titular see of the Roman Catholic Church.[3] Gregory J. Studerus, auxiliary bishop of Newark, New Jersey, is the current titular bishop.[4]
