Mahdia, Quoted In The Glorious Past
Mahdia is an ancient city whose roots extend along history. Although it has known historical milestones (Punic counter, Fatimid Capital, fortress of the Corsairs and the Ottoman Empire), the confusion continues to envelop part of the history of the city, the one that precedes the era Fatimid In particular. This despite the numerous traces revealed by excavations and studies, maritime or terrestrial, which testify to the passage of the Phoenicians, the Punic and the Romans in the city and its surroundings.
The historical period that most distinguished the city was the one that presided over its founding by the Fatimids in 920 to make it the capital of their caliphate.
