Lying in the north-central part of Tunisia, Sbeitla is a small town that features some of the best preserved Roman ruins in the world. Besides its notable "The Forum", the town also consists of several other interesting historical landmarks and sights. Earlier known as Sufetula, Sbeitla served as the capital city of Tunisia during the reign of Prefect Gregory in 646.

Though the history of Sbeitla dated back to the 1st millennium BC but what currently stands are only the remains and ruins. However there are lots of interesting sites to explore but the most notable and finest ones are the forum, a mosaic bath tub, Diocletian's Arch and the street layout.

The Grand Forum: With its three pristine and intact temples (Temple of Minerva, Temple of Jupiter and Temple of Juno) occupying proudly the centre position, the grand forum at Sbeitla is the most striking and fascinating part of the entire town. Much of the massiveness of the temples becomes the victims of the time but still the structures have enough charm to capture your attention. The forum is the most impressive Roman structure in whole Tunisia after El Jem Amphitheatre.

Temples: Among all three, the southernmost temple was dedicated to Minerva, the daughter of God Jupiter and Goddess Juno. Though built in a very simple way, the Temple of Minerva is, presently, best preserved one. Standing in the middle is the Temple of Jupiter, the most important and the largest one. Designed in a distinct style, the Temple of Jupiter does not have its own entrance. It was joined by the help of bridges with other two besides temples and only these bridges acted as Jupiter's temple entrance. The most notable architectural feature of the middle temple is its underground chambers. The last among the three, Temple of Juno is the one with simplest décor and structure, as well as the most ruined one.

Bath Ruins: Along with the grand forum, Sbeitla in Tunisia also features some fine collection of bath ruins, both big and small and public and private in nature. The most impressive ones are the Great Baths that are about 100 times 50 metres in area and dates back to the 3rd century BC. Most of the Great Baths have mosaic floors that survive intact till now. Located close to the bathing complexes are sporting grounds (palaestra).

Churches: Among the various ruins at Sbeitla, five sites are identified as churches. Among all five churches, three structures are located to the north of the forum, one after another. The Basilica of St Vitalis is the largest one and it has a magnificent Baptistery basin in the middle. The other ones are Church of Bellator, Chapel of Jucundus, Church of Servus and Church of St Gervase, Protase and Tryphon. All these ruined structures belonged to Byzantine and were formed on the foundations of earlier Roman structures.

Arch of Diocletian: Constructed during late 3rd century CE, the Arch of Diocletian is located at the southeastern entrance of Sbeitla town in Tunisia. With a way through the olive tree plains, the arch leads passage to the ancient site located close to modern Sfax.

Olive Press: In addition to remarkable Roman Era ruins, this small town of north-central Tunisia also houses the best preserved olive press of Roman period in the country. The press along with its building is still in good shape.
