Description
This stamp highlights Mahdia, the ancient Fatimid capital, through a composition that combines architecture and maritime history. We can see the famous Skifa Kahla fortified gate, an emblematic monument of the city, adjoining an evocation of its past as a naval power with a stylized ship and fish, symbolizing the wealth of local fishing. The message highlights the historical heritage of a coastal city which has managed to preserve its medieval identity while remaining an economic center linked to the sea, testifying to the continuity of Tunisian civilization between land and the Mediterranean.
