Bulla Regia

There are several Roman remains in Tunisia, but Bulla Regia near Tabarka is the most remarkable and intriguing. The Romans here adapted to the hot summer environment by cleverly constructing their villas underground, which has resulted in very beautifully maintained city homes today.

Bulla Regia is a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity for history buffs to walk into authentic Roman homes, with their walls intact and part of the enormous floor mosaics remaining in place. It's a rare insight into the ancient world's household life.
