Neapolis, Archaeological site in Nabeul, Tunisia
The Neapolis complex contains extensive Roman industrial facilities with multiple basins used for fish processing and garum production along the Mediterranean coast.
The ancient city was partially submerged following a devastating tsunami caused by the Crete earthquake of 365 CE, which destroyed significant portions of the settlement.
The site demonstrates Roman food production methods through preserved tanks and manufacturing facilities that created garum, a fermented fish sauce exported throughout the Mediterranean region.
Visitors can explore the archaeological remains from Tuesday to Sunday, with extended hours during summer months and an entrance fee of 5 Tunisian Dinars.
Recent underwater excavations revealed over 100 production tanks, confirming Neapolis as the largest garum manufacturing center in the Roman Empire.
