Description
The Zaghouan aqueduct, or Carthage aqueduct, is a Roman aqueduct, from the 2nd century, connecting the sources of the Zaghouan region to Carthage (Tunisia). Restored in the 19th century, this work is the only one of this importance existing in Tunisia before the establishment of the French protectorate. On February 17, 2012, the Tunisian government proposed the Roman hydraulic complex of Zaghouan-Carthage of which it is part for future classification on the list of world heritage of humanity drawn up by UNESCO. A portion of the aqueduct is internationally classified as an important bird conservation area (TN013), in particular because of the nesting of lesser kestrels (Falco naumanni).
