Tunisia is not considered a cultural destination and wrongly so. It actually boasts little known antique sites, including two (Carthage and Dougga) listed as Unesco World Heritage sites. Dating back mainly to the 2nd and 3rd centuries BC, these vestiges cover both civil and religious architecture. They are found on sites carefully chosen by the people of their time, on the sea shores or on hills in the backcountry. Tunisia also holds the largest collection of mosaics on the planet, a large part of which is conserved and displayed at the Bardo National Museum.
