During the Roman Empire there was a Roman town located here. That town flourished in late antiquity from AD 300 to AD640.[1] The town did not last long after the Muslim conquest of the Maghreb.
Maturba was also the seat of an ancient titular bishopric of the Roman Catholic Church.[2] The bishopric survives today as a titular see.[3][4][5] The current bishop is Paul Simick who replaced José Luís Gerardo Ponce de León in 2014.[6]
