Description	Archaeological site one block behind the main street about halfway through the town (southwest of Tunis on the way to Cap Bon peninsula). In the foreground, stumps of pillars marking the nave of a church. To the right (not seen in photo) are two deep Roman cisterns. In the background (across a road, behind the sign on the telephone pole) is the baptismal font. The town is built on the hot sping of Ain el Ariane. This Ain was first exploited by the Carthaginians who used the water to cure nasal infections. In the 18th century the Ottoman Beys had their winter residence here; their baths are now part of the Hotel des Thermes.
