Forum of Sbeïtla, Tunisia

Sbeitla's forum is the most impressive part of the entire site, with its three almost intact temples in the centre. The Temple of Minerva is in the best condition, while the Temple of Jupiter next to it has almost all of its walls still standing. The Temple of Juno has fared worse, but there is plenty to help you imagine what it must have looked in pristine condition.
Only surpassed by the amphitheatre in El Jem, the forum of Sbeïtla is the most imposing and impressive Roman structure in all of Tunisia.
To the south of the forum is the Arch of Antionius Pius, creating a nice photo opportunity for photographers of all ranks.
Note that the Temple of Jupiter, in the middle, was only accessible from the side, while the two flank temples have stairs in front.
