Tunisia's Historic Treasures

This collection spans millennia of Mediterranean history, from the Phoenician roots of the Tophet de Salammbô to the Roman grandeur of the Antoninus Baths and Carthage Amphitheatre. In the heart of Tunis, the Medina reveals its Ottoman legacy through ornate 18th-century palaces like Dar El Haddad and the royal Tourbet el Bey mausoleum. Coastal defenses, including the 16th-century Fort La Goulette and the island fortress of Chikly, illustrate the strategic importance of this North African crossroads.
