Sousse

The city of Susa (French, Sousse, Arabic, سوسة Susa) is located on the east coast of Tunisia, 140 km south of the capital. Founded probably before Carthage, is called "The Pearl of the Sahel".
This is the first resort of Tunisia.

Without doubt, the most important is the Medina, declared a World Heritage Site by UNESCO in 1988 for its excellent state of preservation. Within its walls are:

• The Ribat, with a high tower and seven bastions. VIII century fortress designed to house a community of ascetics Muslims responsible for monitoring the coast.
• The Great Mosque, in the year 850. Its walls are giving you the appearance of a fortress. It is one of the oldest examples of Muslim art in the Maghreb.
• The Kasbah citadel overlooking the medina from the top of a hill. From 30 meters high, visitors can admire the whole city.

• The Sousse Archeology Museum is located in the Kasbah. The mosaic floorings of Roman origin constitute one of the most important collections of the Mediterranean. The Christian room, with a collection of funerary mosaics and steles, is the second largest of the antic world after Rome.
