Home to a civilization that rivaled the Roman Empire, Carthage was eventually conquered and resettled into a sprawling metropolis, while the influence of the Roman Empire still lingers in the many temples and theaters that are still standing; the world as it once was shines through smaller details, such as visible ridges carved into stone streets where chariot wheels made their mark. It is no wonder that this land held such appeal for so powerful an empire; the beautiful lakes and hills make for a beautiful oasis. It seems that the land has so much to offer that the residents of Matmata have taken full advantage by building their homes right into the sandstone hillsides. A country so spectacular in natural beauty is only made more alluring by architectural crowning achievements, such as the remains of massive aqueducts that once ran for a whopping 80 km.
