Mellegue Hammam, Roman thermal bath complex in Kef Governorate, Tunisia
The Mellegue Hammam features yellow ochre stone walls, multiple pools, and traditional architecture spanning across an extensive thermal complex near Kef city.
The thermal waters of Mellegue Hammam have been in continuous use since Roman times, with original basins and structures remaining functional after nearly two millennia.
The hammam maintains its role as a communal gathering space where local residents participate in traditional bathing practices passed down through generations.
The site is accessible via a 10-kilometer track connecting to the Kef-Souk Ahras road, located 15 kilometers from the city of Kef.
The location received recognition as a STRATOTYPE in 1991 due to its distinctive iridium layer, drawing scientific interest from geologists worldwide.
