The Mahdia shipwreck is a significant underwater archaeological site dating back to the 1st century BCE. Discovered in 1907, it carried a rich cargo of Greek art and marble columns, likely destined for Roman patrons. Today, the site is a popular spot for scuba diving, where divers can see scattered remains and amphorae on the seabed. The recovered artifacts are displayed in the Bardo Museum in Tunis.
