Skifa El KahlaSkifa El Kahla is a huge gate dating originally to the tenth century. It is still one of the access points to the historic center of the city of Mahdia and one of the rare remains of the old city walls, located in the center of the old citadel. The Skifa is part of the system of ramparts rebuilt by the Turks at the end of the 16th century. Gate of the fortified city, the Skifa el Kahla was the main tower of the 2nd line of defense to bar access to the city.

Mahdia MuseumInstalled at the entrance to the old town in old renovated town hall premises, this museum is as much a reflection of the general history of the country to which the city has contributed by a good chapter, as that, more specific, From Mahdia herself. Under the first part, the museum returns to us, on the ground floor, objects dating back to Libyco-Punic and Roman-African antiquity while part of the floor is dedicated to the legacy of the Byzantine and Islamic. Greek civilization is represented by two marble columns, partly gnawed by mollusks and coming from a Roman wreck loaded with war booty that was wrecked off Mahdia and most of the cargo, recovered in the 1940s, is exhibited in the 'Mahdia' wing of the Bardo museum. Under the second part, the floor gives us a large number of handicrafts (carved and painted woodwork, mosaics, ornate stucco, ceramics, earthenware, treasures, and jewels)

Mahdia's Old TownMahdia, a city with a glorious past - it was the first capital of the Fatimid caliphs in the 10th century -, is built flush with rock on a thin peninsula. She pulls everything, its charm of its sapphire-colored sea, of its superb beaches, its medina and its animation of traditional small town, the town of fishermen and silk weavers.
- Built by Obeid Allah el Mehdi between 909 and 934, this is the first Fatimid mosque. No minaret, the call of the imam is from one of the two towers. It was transformed under the Spanish occupation into a sanctuary. The only part dating from the 10th century is its northern part. It was redesigned according to the original plan as part of the major restoration work initiated by President Bourguiba in 1964, on land reclaimed from the sea. (pass by)
