Embark the coach for a full day excursion by driving 75 minutes to the Roman archeological site of Thuborbo Majus. Surrounded by shimmering wheat fields and olive groves like those that made its fortune, Thuburbo Majus has a prosperous air even in its ruinous state. This site has partially been excavated and is dotted with many buildings, mostly monumental. Take a guided walk inside the archeological site.  Visit the Capitole with four full-length fluted Corinthian columns that dominates the site. The four giant reconstructed pillars of veined pink marble marking the entrance to the temple, which honours the Capitoline Triad: Jupiter, the king of the gods; Juno, his wife; and Jupiter’s daughter Minerva, the goddess of music, poetry, medicine and wisdom. The Temple of Peace holds a few stone bas-reliefs, including one of Pegasus. Other highlights include the unusual Temple of Mercury, Temple of Peace, Temple of Caelestis, Palaestra of the Petronii, summer and winter baths and much more.
