Chebba, Mediterranean coastal municipality in Mahdia Governorate, Tunisia
The eastern Tunisian city of Chebba extends along the Mediterranean Sea, featuring traditional architecture and a centrally located harbor for maritime activities.
In 533 CE, Byzantine general Belisarius landed at Caput Vada near Chebba during his campaign against the Vandals, leading to Emperor Justinian establishing Justinianopolis.
The Bordj Khadidja fortress, named after an 11th-century local poet, stands as a testament to the architectural and literary heritage of Chebba.
The municipality maintains regular transportation connections to major Tunisian cities and provides access to the Kerkennah Islands through its strategic coastal position.
The ancient harbor fortress, constructed on Byzantine foundations during the 8th century Abbasid period, protected the entrance to Chebba's maritime routes.
