Amphitheatre of El Djem
Around 70 km from Monastir, this is one of the largest and best-preserved Roman coliseums in the world. Built in the 3rd century, and able to hold 35,000 spectators, it is proof of Roman presence in North Africa.
City of Sousse
Just 25 km from Monastir, Sousse is one of Tunisia’s most famous cities - renowned for its medina, which was declared a UNESCO World Heritage Site. Its coast, museums and streets reflect the city’s history.
Monastir medina
The ancient city of Monastir is a labyrinth of narrow streets, traditional bazaars, and whitewashed houses. Visitors can enjoy the atmosphere of the markets, where local craftsmanship, spices and jewellery are on display. An excellent place to experience Tunisian culture.
Sousse mosque
Built in the 9th century, this is a great example of Islamic architecture. Its walls and its design reflect its dual function as a place of worship and a defensive fortress. This place is closely linked to the region’s religious history.
Ribat of Monastir
This has been one of Monastir’s most significant sites ever since the 8th century. The fortress defended the coastline from invasions and was also a religious centre. Its high walls and tall towers offer views of the Mediterranean and Monastir’s old town.
Ribat of Sousse
Another fortress that was also built to protect the coast from invasions. With its towers and alleys, the ribat is more than a work of architecture, as it also looks out over the sea and the city.
