Kesra, a Berber village perched at 1,100 m altitude in the Tunisian Dorsale (180 km from Tunis), is one of the most authentic villages in the north-west. Vernacular architecture, springs, Berber and Roman remains, and cool climate make it a rare and unspoilt stop.
Kesra has been inhabited since Antiquity by Berbers. Under Rome, it was a frontier garrison (visible remains). In the Middle Ages, the Berber village developed upwards for defence. Under French protectorate, a modest summer resort. Today, an authentic village preserved from mass tourism.
