A rich cultural heritage
Never any African country was consumed by as much covetousness as was Tunisia.

The most Tunisian Towns are old Phoenician counters, heritages of Greek or Roman towns, or Arab medinas as well.
The Amphitheaters, thermae, odeums, Coliseums, witness the glory of an emperor and of a civilization. But beyond the triumph of the ancient times, the Arab architects had known how to show the genius of their arts: The great mosque of Kairouan is a splendid example of this art.
Utique would be the most ancient counter, dating from the 1.100 before J.C, it became later a roman city. We acknowledge its thermae with mosaic floor.
The Dougga town still rises proudly on its hill. Around the temple erected in honor of Jupiter, Juno and Minerva lies down the forum, with its Punic mausoleum and further its thermae, it's a theatre of 3.500 seat which relives every summer.
As for El Jem Coliseum, it's quite as good as the Rome one: Where 35.000 spectators can take seats. The mosaic of the palace are dedicated to Dyonisos or Bacchus.
