El Jem - Roman Thysdrus

by MikeAtSea - last update: Dec 1, 2007

El Jem is the ancient Roman city of Thysdrus, now known as El Jem, and it is a must see destination to explore its magnificent amphitheatre and museum.
El Jem lies about an hour’s drive south of Sousse, in Tunisia’s Mahdia Governorate. Once the site of the prosperous Punic/Roman city of Thysdrus, the city is best-known today for its large amphitheatre, reminiscent of Rome’s Colosseum.
Dating back to the end of the second century, the gracefully curving, arched walls enclosed a large arena capable of holding 35,000 spectators. Designated a World Heritage Site in 1979, the structure is the largest of its kind in North Africa.
