Souk El Arba

Souk el Arba lies on the Medjerda in northwestern Tunisia, amid the fertile fields of the river valley. Nearby stood Bulla Regia, an ancient city with richly decorated houses, some built partly underground. The valley has long supported agriculture, and the name Souk el Arba recalls a weekly market. River, fields and routes through the valley connect the surrounding hills with the country toward Tunis.
