ZARZIS MUSEUM

This museum is located in the former church of Notre-Dame-de-la-Garde, built at the beginning of the 20th century. It presents the history of Zarzis and the ancient sites of the region through archaeological pieces and objects of daily life. The Carthaginian period is represented there. A model of the site of Gigthis reminds us of the importance of economic exchanges in the Roman period. One also discovers instruments used by the Zarzissians in the activities which marked their daily life since Antiquity, namely the culture of the olive tree, fishing and trade.
