The great Dougga Ruins

Today we visited the Dougga ruins near Tunis the capital of Tunisia. The ruins are very interesting in that they are the most complete set of roman city ruins. The ruins feature a complete town from the roman occupancy of Tunisia. It has capital buildings, houses, a theater that has been put into use today. 

 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 urbanization
