EL HAOUARIA:
The Roman caves

At the Roman caves, facing the sea, Haouria, Tunisia

El Haouaria is best known for the Roman quarries, now called Ghar el-Kebir. When the Romans rebuilt Carthage as Roman city, much of the stone needed was taken out of the mountain close to El Haouaria, and the holes are now known as the Roman caves.
