Description
This program promotes the island heritage of Djerba, "the island of lotophages", by featuring the fort of Ghazi Mustapha (or Borj El Kebir) against a backdrop of palm trees and azure sky. The illustration highlights the island's strategic position in the military history of the Mediterranean, having been the scene of memorable battles between the Ottoman and Spanish fleets in the 16th century. The message conveyed is that of a plural identity and a strong Mediterranean heritage, where military architecture becomes a cultural and tourist landmark emblematic of Djerbian authenticity.
