Kasserine - New Town

During the period of French colonial rule a modern town was built around the old center of Kasserine. The town is traversed by its 4km/2.5mi long main street, Avenue Habib Bourguiba, in the eastern section of which (towards Kairouan) is the modern town center, with the railroad station, bus station and numerous shops. The ancient remains are at the other end of the street, in the direction of Gafsa.
