The Roman site of Pupput is 6.5km southwest of the Hammamet town centre. Nowadays wedged between Hammamet's hotels and nightclubs, this was once a staging post on the Roman road from Carthage to Hadrumetum (Sousse). The name suggests that it occupies the site of an earlier Punic settlement. The Byzantine and Roman remains are scant, but of interest if you're a history buff. The 5th-century House of Figured Peristyle retains a couple of columns and some mosaic flooring, but most memorable are the bleached-out Byzantine tomb mosaics displayed on a wall.
