<dc:title>Amphitheatre of El Jem</dc:title>
<dc:subject>Immovable Culture Heritage</dc:subject>
<dc:description>The Amphitheatre of El Jem was built in 238 AD and is located in the town of El Djem in Tunisia. At the time it was built, El Djem was known as Thysdrus, which was a Roman province. It was built for spectator events, and is one of the biggest amphitheatres in the world, as well as one of the best preserved Roman ruins. 

In terms of size, it spans 148 metres by 122 metres and was estimated to accomodate around 35,000 spectators. During the Middle Ages, Thysdrus was attacked by the Vandals in 430 AD and by Arabs in 647 AD, and the amphitheatre was used as a fortress for shelter by the population. Around the end of the 18th to the 19th century, the amphitheatre was believed to have been used for the manufacture of saltpeter, and at the end of the 19th century, the amphitheatre was used for shops, shelter and grain storage. </dc:description>
