LE TEMPLE DES EAUX

The beautiful Temple des Eaux, a Roman nymphaeum dedicated to the cult of water, was built by the emperor Hadrian in the 2nd century around the main spring of the region. Dominated by the Djebel Zaghouan, the monument is a hemicycle basin, a water collector, with a decantation basin below before the waters were distributed in the region and up to Carthage by the aqueduct. The gallery housed 12 statues of Neptune and the Nereids. Most of them are in the National Museum of Bardo. Dominating the city, the site with its luxuriant vegetation is a pleasant place.
