   The archaeological site of Bulla Regia is located a few kilometers north of the city of Jendouba, in the northwest of the country, it is one of the main stages of cultural tourism in this region. The remains it presents bear witness to more than 17 centuries of the history of an agglomeration founded by the Numidians at the end of the 6th century BC at the latest and which quickly became a royal residence. Autonomous at the beginning of the Roman period, it was erected as a municipality under the Flavians and as a Roman colony under the Emperor Hadrian (117-138).
