If you had to see just one archaeological site in Carthage, this would be it! The Thermes d'Antonin are a thing of beauty. You first enter the site through a large tree-lined park. Just beyond, the view of the thermal baths and the preserved high column is incredible, with the turquoise of the sea in the background. These baths date back to the 2nd century AD. Their size makes them the most impressive remains of Roman Carthage, and the third largest in the Roman world after those of Caracalla and Diocletian in Rome. Today, only the underground section and a few remains remain. The frigidarium column (15 m high), one of 12 that once supported the ceilings of the baths themselves, has been straightened, allowing us to appreciate the splendour and grandeur of the thermal edifice. The site covered an area of 4 hectares and, when in operation, the thermal baths could accommodate up to 1,500 people at any one time. Just imagine the Romans coming here to bathe, but also to enjoy the many amenities on site. Stores were located all around the baths. The site, now in ruins, was a major center for leisure, relaxation and business. Romans came here on average once a week. The Thermes d'Antonin was a place of hygiene, but also of daily life. Two marble blocks with inscriptions, still visible today, date the site. A visit not to be missed on your trip to Tunisia!

Les Thermes d'Antonin à Carthage en Tunisie
Le site des thermes d'Antonin à Carthage est grandiose et superbe. Même s'il ne reste que les vestiges des parties basses des anciens bains, l'esprit se charge d'imaginer la grandeur du site d'origine et, par là même, la magnificence de la ville de Carthage. La visite est libre et permet de profiter de l'endroit à son rythme. J'ai beaucoup apprécié déambuler en prenant mon temps parmi ces gigantesques colonnes et ces vestiges chargés d'Histoire.

Historique
Un retour sur l'histoire impressionnant. Les plans de ce lieu ont servie à Rome pour les thermes. De ce site, la vue est également très belle. Un endroit ou le passé et l'actuel se côtoient notamment avec la proximité de la résidence présidentiel.
