This was a stunning site to visit, I was blown away by the size of it. The destruction, was courtesy of the Tunisian president post WWII following an insurrection by the people. They would gather here hence why the president ordered its destruction. You can actually see the soot marks from large ammo discharge. It was also where the original Gladiator movie was filmed.
