ספקס

ספקס (בערבית: صفاقس; תעתיק: צפאקס) היא עיר בתוניסיה, השנייה בגודלה, הממוקמת כ-270 ק"מ דרומית מזרחית לתוניס. העיר, שנוסדה בשנת 849 על חורבות היישובים הרומיים טאפארארה וטאיאנא, היא גם עיר הבירה של מחוז ספקס, וגם עיר נמל ים-תיכונית השוכנת במפרץ גבס. אוכלוסיית העיר מונה 340,000 תושבים (2005), ויש בה מפעל תעשייתי לעיבוד פוספט. העיר נחשבת לעיר השנייה בגודלה, כיוון שרק בתוניס יש יותר תושבים.

במאה ה-12 נכבשה ספקס על ידי הנורמנים, ובמאה ה-16 כבשו אותה הספרדים. בימי מלחמת העולם השנייה התבצרו הגרמנים בעיר, והיא הופצצה רבות על ידי מטוסי ארצות הברית, עד שהגרמנים פינוה והבריטים נכנסו לתוכה, בשנת 1943.
