| Page Views: 245 Last Visit to Zaghouan: August, 2008 | THE SMILING VILLAGE OF ZAGHOUAN by Elisabcn - last update: Aug 25, 2008 |
Zaghouan is clearly an off the beaten path destination. It will never appear on the list of “a week in Tunisia trip”. But if you have more time or If you don’t want to move far from Tunis why not? Maybe you’ll have a nice surprise…
Zaghouan is situated 60km south of Tunis, at the foot of Zaghouan Mountain (1295m). It was a roman city (Ziqua), that administrated one of the most important water resources of Carthage and you still can see some remains from this period. Apart from this roman remains I decided to visit this city mainly because I read that the new village was built in andalusian style by spanish immigrants during the 17th century. But it does not matter what made me go there, Zaghouan was a beautiful surprise to me: the climbing narrow streets, the public fountains decorated with tiles, the mountains and the biggest surprise, the water temple! At the end Zaghouan was a great Sunday trip. |
