  • 🌍 Archaelogical museum (St Augustine church). After the church was deconsecrated, it was decided to transform it into a museum of ancient Christian mosaic art, with a permanent exhibition of collections from the archaeological discoveries made in 1904-1905 at the sites of Uppenna (Henchir Chgarnia) and Sidi Abiche.

During the museum's renovation, the Vandal-Byzantine mosaics were installed in the nave, while the lapidary and ceramic collections were housed in the former ambulatory, which previously served as a sacristy.
The museum garden displays architectural elements from the region's archaeological sites, sarcophagi, and a dedication to Emperor Constantine from the city of Uppenna.
  • 🌍 Military cemetery. More than 1,500 British soldiers who fell between November 1942 and May 1943 in the fighting between the British Eighth Army and American forces on the one side, and Italian and German troops on the other, are buried here. OSM directions target=_blank
