Sbeitla, Archaeological site near Kasserine, Tunisia
The archaeological site contains three temples dedicated to Minerva, Jupiter, and Juno, forming a monumental forum complex in excellent preservation state.
In 647 CE, Sbeitla became the location of a decisive battle between Byzantine forces and the Rashidun Caliphate, marking the beginning of Islamic control in North Africa.
The Basilica of Vitalis features a large baptismal basin decorated with mosaics, demonstrating the early Christian heritage of the region during Roman times.
The site is accessible by road, located 250 kilometers from Tunis, 215 kilometers from Tozeur, and 30 kilometers from Kasserine, with hotels available nearby.
The Temple of Jupiter in the forum has no direct entrance and required access through bridges connecting it to the adjacent temples of Minerva and Juno.
