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.

The price for the museum is included in your ticket for Amphitetare, so, do yourself a favor and visit it! I am a lover of mosaics from Roman period so would visit this museum even if I had to pay separetly...Like museum in Sousse and Tunis, this one has a great great collection of mosaics! Plus, you have a whole roman villa to see! A must see!

Mahdia's Old Town

This beautiful and historic town on Tunisia’s east coast is well preserved in parts, carefully restored in others. The old quarter is dominated by the rebuilt Central Mosque.
