Located 35 km from Tunis and 15 km from Hammam Lif, Soliman is the gateway to Cap Bon when you come from the capital. It is a city of 38,000 inhabitants where one feels good. In the heart of its attractive center, a charming square immerses you in a Tunisia of permanent animations, especially after 5 pm. Located in the heart of a fertile plain, Soliman is also a place of trade of agricultural products from the surrounding countryside and the center of an industrial zone. Caught up by urbanization, it gradually became a suburb of Tunis. The city owes its development, from the 16th century, to the settlement of soldiers of the Ottoman Empire. Its name would come from the patronymic of a Turk named Soliman who, around 1600, came into possession of an estate located on the site of the current city. It knew a relative prosperity under the Andalusian domination of the XVIIth which made it an important agricultural center. Mosque, market, schools, café and a small medina were built. Soliman then suffered two great misfortunes: a plague epidemic, which affected 80% of the population, and the bombings of 1943. Soliman has nevertheless preserved traces of the Andalusian contribution visible in the urban planning and architecture: the center of the city has a mesh of narrow streets and the habitat is made up of small houses, organized around a patio. The buildings are painted white and the houses sometimes have a green tile roof.
