The City Of Mahdia
|
Tucked away like a precious jewel
between Sousse and Sfax, this lovely
port modestly conceals its prestigious
and adventurous past. Proclaimed the
capital of Tunisia in 921, Mahdia was
long the center of a power struggle
between the Caliph of Cairo and local
sovereigns. |
| |
The Central Mosque, austere and sober
dates from the 10th century and the
entrance to the Medina is through an
enormous 16th century gate. Wandering
through the old city visitors can see
the vestiges of the ancient ramparts and
fortress, visit the "Cape Africa"
lighthouse and hauntingly beautiful
sailors cemetery |
|
| |
Mahdia of today is that of the fisherman
mending his nets and the silk weavers in
the Rue Sidi Jaber. A few kilometers
from the town itself a myriad of modern
first class hotels offer visitors one of
the finest beaches in Tunisia. |
