Pass By: Great Mosque of Testour, Tastur Tunisia
The Andalusian village of Testour is famous with the Great Mosque, it epitomizes Andalusian architecture, especially its minaret, which features Andalusian-style inscriptions and architectural elements. The height of the minaret is 23 meters and it is an octagonal shape. The facade of the minaret is opened by small double windows adorned with glazed inscriptions and a mechanical clock at the top. Its appearance resembles the Aragonese bell towers of southern Spain. Visitors will have the pleasure of enjoying a cheese tasting to taste the specialty of the region. About 1 hour journey.
Stop At: Dougga, Teboursouk Tunisia
Unesco classified this site on the World Heritage List in 1997, considering that it is the “best preserved small Roman city in North Africa”.
This archaeological site preserves, within its delimitation, the vestiges of different periods of the ancient city with all its components: the monumental center (capitol, forum, market, place of the wind rose ...), the buildings of shows (theater, circus) and the public baths clearly reflect the way in which an indigenous foundation evolved during the Roman period.
Duration: 3 hours
Stop At: Bulla Regia, Jendouba Tunisia
The archaeological site of Bulla Regia is located a few kilometers north of the city of Jendouba, in the northwest of the country, it is one of the main stages of cultural tourism in this region. The remains it presents bear witness to more than 17 centuries of the history of an agglomeration founded by the Numidians at the end of the 6th century BC at the latest and which quickly became a royal residence. Autonomous at the beginning of the Roman period, it was erected as a municipality under the Flavians and as a Roman colony under the Emperor Hadrian (117-138). At the end of the 5th century, its inhabitants were judged as bad Christians by Augustine.
