 The Ribat of Monastir. This is both a religious and a military monument built between the end of the 8th
century and the 10th century and transformed into a vast citadel which is one of the largest military constructions
of Islamic Tunisia.
Uthina Museum
Uthina (Oudna). Uthina is thought to be one of the oldest colonies in Africa, since its creation (by veterans)
dates back to the time of Augustus, although the site is in reality probably of Berber origin.
 It is located some
30 km south of Tunis, and the ruins extend over approximately 140 hectares. Worth a visit, a large amphitheater
dating from the 2nd century AD, a theater, Roman villas which have yielded very fine mosaic floors (including those
on exhibit in the Bardo Museum), private and public baths, large cisterns, and an important monument that may be
identified as the capitol.
