La randonnée
A loop through the Numidian royal town at the foot of Jebel Rabia, whose Roman villas had their main rooms built underground against the heat.
Bulla Regia was a Numidian royal town before it became Roman, set at the foot of Jebel Rabia above the Medjerda plain. Its signature is the underground villa: wealthy houses whose living rooms were built a storey below the courtyard to escape the summer heat, several still with their mosaics in place. The loop runs from the entrance past the triumphal arch and the underground villas to the amphitheatre and back.
