Magical Places and Things - Tunisia (11)

Thank you for enjoying the images of Tunisia. We have lingered here longer than I had planned. There are others in the album entitled, "Tunisia." At the end of the trip, I travelled to Sousse and then to Hammamet.

 

Hammamet is a smaller town on the Gulf of Hammamet and a popular resort town. Through out history, it was a desire place to conquer. First, it was a Roman colony, then it was ruled by the Spanish and the Turks. Rommel used it as a headquarters during World War II.

 

As a matter of fact, I saw many old pictures of World War II tanks as I explored Tunisa. This is the medina of the town. A small and manageable medina to walk though and enjoy. It was originally erected during the 15th Century.
