El Djem
The Roman amphitheater, which once held over 40.000 spectators and was the scene of sporting events and gladiator fights, is located in the UNESCO World Heritage Site of El Djem. It is the third largest amphitheater in the world and is well preserved.
Monastir
After Habib Bourguib was elected the first President of the Tunisian Republic, his native city developed into a modern metropolis with mosques, parks, modern buildings and a university. A small lively medina fills the city with life. The Ribat, a fortified castle, is the most important building. The Bourguibas mausoleum was built in honor of the former Tunisian president.
