Zaghouan | Water Temple | Barrage Sidi Medien | Exploring Tunisia
Time to get back to exploring Tunisia!!! This trip I go to Zaghouan where we visit the Water temple or Temple De Eaux in French. An ancient Roman Temple based at the aquifer that sent water 134km away to Carthage using Aqueducts.
We then went to barrage/dam Sidi Medien, we grilled our lunch on the lake side and then hiked all the way around it.
A great day with great people!

Carthage, Tunisia
Carthage today is a suburb of Tunis, capital of Tunisia. It was the centre of the Carthaginian Empire in antiquity. The city has existed for nearly 3,000 years, developing from a Phoenician colony of the 1st millennium BC into the capital of an ancient empire which challenged the power of Roman Empire.

The Baths of Antoninus or Baths of Carthage, located in Carthage, Tunisia, are the vastest set of Roman Thermae built on the African continent and one of three largest built in the Roman Empire. The baths are also the only remaining Thermae of Carthage that dates back to the Roman Empire's era.
The baths are at the South-East of the archaeological site, near the presidential Carthage Palace. The archaeological excavations started during the Second World War and concluded by the creation of an archaeological park for the monument. It is also one of the most important landmarks of the Tourism in Tunisia.
The baths are today part of the Archaeological site of Carthage on the list of World Heritage sites of the UNESCO. The 17th February 2012, the Tunisian government proposes the Roman hydraulic complex Zaghouan-Carthage, that the baths are part of, as a future World Heritage site.[2]
The Zaghouan the Aqueduct of Carthage is an ancient Roman aqueduct, which supplied the North African city of Carthage with water. From its source in Zaghouan it flows a total of 132 km, making it amongst the longest aqueducts in the Roman Empire.
Dougga or Thugga (Berber: Dugga, Tugga, Arabic: دڨة About this sound Doggā) is an ancient Roman city in northern Tunisia, included in a 65 hectare archaeological site.[1]
UNESCO qualified Dougga as a World Heritage Site in 1997, believing that it represents “the best-preserved Roman small town in North Africa”. The site, which lies in the middle of the countryside, has been protected from the encroachment of modern urbanisation, in contrast, for example, to Carthage, which has been pillaged and rebuilt on numerous occasions.
Thugga’s size, its well-preserved monuments and its rich Numidian-Berber, Punic, ancient Roman and Byzantine history make it exceptional. Amongst the most famous monuments at the site are a Libyco-Punic Mausoleum, the capitol, the theatre, and the temples of Saturn and of Juno Caelestis.
