Salakta Archaeological Museum

The Salakta Archaeological Museum is a small museum set up within the ancient site of v, a port city south of Mahdia which was very prosperous in Antiquity and which maintained commercial relations with other Mediterranean ports, notably Italian ones. And it shows in the windows of this antiquarium. The visit opens on a mosaic panel reproducing a poem (translated on a sign) that celebrates the benefits of swimming and the pleasures of life. Then, at the back of the room following the hall, another mosaic panel depicting a lion awkwardly executed but of impressive proportions:3 meters high! Most of the objects exhibited in the windows of the 4 rooms that make up this museum come from the necropolis adjoining the museum and which, moreover, provided specimens of terracotta burials; Others come from ancient port facilities or from the Christian catacombs built in the basement in surrounding fields.
