Magical Places -Turnisia (4)

Going deeper into the heart of Tunisia, the ruins of Utica were a grand sight. Once a colony of the Phoenician empire and part of their trade route, the city was ultimately conquered by the Romans.

 

Many wonderful tile floors are found through out the ruins which are quite remarkably well preserved. I have always had a huge fascination with the Phoenician empire so this site was a thrill for me to see.

 

Isn't it amazing how the landscape changes through out Tunisia? It is no wonder that the country became a favorite place to film epic movies in the modern age.
