Amphitheatre of El Jem

Reviewed By Tiberiu_Baranyi - Timisoara, Romania

Amphitheatre of El Jem is the second largest built by the romans after the "original" in Rome. Built after the conquest of Carthage - a symbol of the Roman power , no doubt - it still stands after so many centuries. Originally it could hold 35000 spectators - gladiators were entertaining the mob , fights were organized here - in the underground there were the holding cells for animals and gladiators alike- you can take a walk through the dark tunnels - that are mostly closed today but you can have an idea about how it was during its time of glory. Today you need to pay a small entrance fee so you can wander around and be impressed by how the ancient engineers have build this amazing structure. On a guided tour you will learn a lot about the history of the place and its importance in the roman times after the fall of mighty Carthage. Recently was the scenery for Ridley Scott's master piece movie the "Gladiator" and periodically they have concerts inside the old ruins. Overall a great experience I recommend you go and check it out for yourself when you are in Tunisia, for sure it is one of those must see places.

Palace Dar Nejma Ezzahra

The home of Baron Rodolphe d'Erlanger, who was responsible for the blue and white color scheme of the town.

Reviewed By CarmenB400 - Bucharest, Romania

Le Palais du Baron D'Erlanger is an absolute gem and worth visiting. The outside architecture is simple and clean, with the emblematic white and blue color scheme of Sidi Bou Said, while the interior is beautifully luxuriant. The eye-catching plasterwork and amazing views over the sea is a heath taking mix. The views are among the best ever.

Bourghiba Mausoleum

Reviewed By daisy12014 - Carlisle, United Kingdom

Ask any Tunisian and they will tell you that Habib Bourguiba is their nation's saviour, rescuing them from French rule in the 1950s (and giving women the right to vote). A scaled down model of the Taj Mahal, the mausoleum contains many of the great man's personal effects, as well as his and his family's mortal remains. Free to enter and stunningly photogenic.

L'aqueduc de Zaghouan

Reviewed By 575hanschristianf - Maeloev, Denmark

Amazing to see one of the worlds biggest aqueducts still well preserved from the Roman empire and still very visible to see. As we did not know of this when going to Oudna and the archaeological site of Uthina, we were overwhelmingly surprised. Impressing to see an aqueduct that runs along the modern road and in a shape like this. If you have the slightest interest in the Roman empire and that historical period, you should go to Uthina and see the impressing engineering achievements from the Romans.
