Of great interest to Tunisians. This is where their great ancestor Hannibal Barca defeated the Roman legions in the 2nd Punic War. It wasn't just a defeat. It was a one sided massacre. The Romans who weren't butchered drowned in the lake. This together with another defeat / massacre at Cannae 216 BCE, persuaded the Romans to avoid direct battle with Hannibal. They adopted a scorched earth and retreat policy which eventually wore down the Carthaginian army. The Italians have been retreating ever since.

Diciamo che è un po' sottosviluppato..
Non so se è un bene o un male..
Il bene perché non c'è Casino.. perciò non è inflazionato..
un posto in solitudine.. e tranquillità relax totale..
Il rovescio.. è per l'economia

[@LuigisTravelTips]

Concordo Daniele, è un pò fuori dai circuiti turistici più blasonati, nel bene e nel male. L'obiettivo del mio Canale RUclips è far conoscere ai turisti internazionali posti meno noti dalla nostra penisola. Ciao
