Tunisia capital

The capital of Tunisia shares the same name as the country.

Tunisia is located at the top of a lake on the west coast of the Gulf of Tunis in the Mediterranean Sea. The bay and the lake are separated by a natural sand embankment, with a gap in the middle. This capital city is a combination of an old city full of Arab style and a new European city. Most of the buildings are milky white, hidden in the shade of date palms, palm trees and olive trees, like white lotuses floating on the Mediterranean.

On Bourguiba Street in the center of the new city, in the center of the Square of the Republic stands the equestrian bronze statue of former President Bourguiba. In the distance, where the water and sky are the same color, are the Lake of Tunis and the Gulf of Tunis. The famous ruins of the ancient city of Carthage are located 17 kilometers away from the northeastern suburbs of Tunisia, covering an area of ??3.15 square kilometers. Due to its prominent geographical location and beautiful scenery, it was selected as the capital of the Kingdom of Carthage established by the Phoenicians in 814 BC.
