MAHDIA:
Punic ruins

Mahdia, Tunisia

I don't know for sure whether the ruin area west of the Borj el-Kebir is Punic, really. It is unmarked, and no guide books tell the same story. According to one it may even be remains of a Fatimid palace.
Why I believe it is Punic, is because of the style of mosaics, the walls of the houses, and a depth of in the ground indicating that a long time has passed.
But apart from that, in its present state it is not impressive or the least beautiful.
