The Thermae of Antoninus were built in the 2nd century a.c. (145-162), by the emperor Antoninus Pius. Ranked third in the order of magnitude, the thermal unit reflects the importance of Carthage as a Roman city.
Architecturally, the baths have a perfectly symmetric plan specific to the baths of major cities.
Currently, the baths are only reduced to their slot soil, and we can only admire what remains of fragments of marble and granite (friezes, tent...), since the building was transformed in the Middle Ages to a marble quarry used for the ornamentation of the monuments of Kairouan, Tunis or even transported to Europe.
The thermal unit was ranked international monument by UNESCO since October 26, 1979.

Les thermes d’antonin ont été construits au IIème siècle après J.C (145-162), par l’empereur Antonin le Pieux. Classé troisième mondial dans l’ordre de grandeur, l’ensemble thermal témoigne de l’importance de Carthage comme cité romaine.
Sur le plan architectural, les thermes ont un plan parfaitement symétrique, spécifique aux thermes des grandes villes.
Actuellement, les thermes sont réduits uniquement à leurs sous-sol, et on ne peut admirer que ce qui reste de fragments de marbre et de granite (frises, chapiteau…) puisque l’édifice s’est transformé au moyen âge en une carrière de marbre qui servait à l’ornementation des monuments de Kairouan, de Tunis ou carrément transporté vers l’Europe.
L’ensemble thermal est classé monument international par l’UNESCO depuis le 26 octobre 1979.

Korbous, Cap Bon, Tunisia
Korbous is located on the north coast of Cap Bon, about 56 kilometers from Tunis, the capital.
Amazing sea views surround the area. Korbous has beautiful white beaches at the base of craggy cliffs, ideal for photography and romantic movie scenes.
In the past, local women who wanted to conceive believed for centuries that a slid down the famous Zarziha Rock would make them fertile.
In the town, the springs are all parts of hotels while out of town they can be bathed in publicly.
