During World War II, French-controlled Tunisia became a strategic battleground between the Axis and Allied Powers. To defend against potential invasions by Nazi Germany and Italy, fortifications known as the Mareth Line were constructed in the 1930s. Located in Gabes, the Military Museum of Mareth Line now stands as a testament to this historical period. Visitors can explore the preserved bunkers and trenches, view military uniforms, and examine artillery pieces. The museum offers a comprehensive look at the defensive measures and the broader context of the war, providing a tangible connection to the past.
