Meninx
Meninx is an archaeological site located on the south-east coast of the island of Djerba in Medenine Governorate, Tunisia. It was originally a trading post founded by the Phoenicians in the 1st millennium BC. The site reached its apex during Roman times, when it became the chief town of the island. The ruins include an amphitheater, a basilica and a forum. Meninx was inscribed as a UNESCO World Heritage Site in 2023 as part of Djerba: Testimony to a Settlement Pattern in an Island Territory.
