Sightseeing
of Mahdia in Tunisia
|
|
| Skifa-Kahla | Fish Market | |
| It's the gateway into the city. In ancient walls were built to defend against the continuous pirate attacks in the area. The Tunisian cities were themselves as independent states, that is why they were easy targets for hackers because of its weakness. | As already mentioned, Mahdia is a fishing village and is therefore highlighting this popular market where the fishermen sell their catch to the highest bidder. It's a bustling area who flock daily to the traders and individuals to buy good pieces straight out of the sea. | |
| Ruins of Mahdia | Great Mosque of Mahdia | |
| We find in the city of Mahdia remains of the Punic period with his classics from the mosaics and ancient buildings. Also are remains of Roman buildings and of course the Fatimid period. | It's a work of the ninth century built by the Fatimids characterized by its simplicity. Emphasizes the door, reminiscent of Roman-style arches, very present in all Tunisian buildings, which was reserved for the ruler and his entourage. | |
| Archaeological Museum | Place du Caire | |
| It contains good examples of cultures that have left their mark on the area, like the Punic, Roman, Christian and Islamic course. It is situated near the Skif-Khal. | A central square in the town of Mahdia, where you can enjoy a coffee or tea. At night is a party atmosphere lively area during the months of more tourist arrivals. | |
| Mahdia Beach | Fortaleza de Borj el Kebir | |
| It's a practically virgin beach with fine golden sand and calm water that has not yet been occupied by resorts in sight but that will happen soon. | It was built in 1595 and is a great strength to defend the city. From there you look at the port and its style is very simple with few details worth highlighting. | |
