The Adventure continues …. Tunis, Tunesia
Tunis, sits at the crossroads of civilizations that have shaped North Africa for millennia. Ancient Carthage grew into one of the most powerful cities rivaling only Rome. Over the centuries Tunis/Carthage and its surroundings were conquered by the Romans, Vandals, Byzantines, Arab conquerors, Aghlabids, Hafsids, Ottomans, and French colonizers before Tunisia gained independence in 1956. This layered past has left the region with an extraordinarily rich tapestry of archaeological and architectural heritage.
The Bardo Museum houses the finest collection of Roman mosaics, many recovered from Tunisian archaeological sites. Many of these are large having covered the floors of grand homes of Carthage.
The old Medina of Tunis, is a vast network of shops and stalls offering anything from rugs to gold and diamonds. It was a shoppers delight.
The Antonine Baths of Carthage — are among the largest Roman baths ever built outside Rome itself. Much of the structure lies in ruins, the towering columns and vast foundations that remain give a powerful sense of their former grandeur.
