MISRATHA MUSEUM

It is in the amazing Tour Gozelteek tower, a futuristic monument of the 1970 s, built in commemoration of the Libyans victims of the struggle against Italians, in which Misratha has particularly invested. This small museum opened in 1994 with the participation of UNESCO, on the occasion of the twentieth anniversary of the signing of the World Heritage Convention. It presents vestiges discovered in 1981 in the vicinity of Dafniya (west of Misratha) and gives an interesting overview of the Libyan archaeological heritage (photos of Saharan paintings and engravings and of Ghadamès, Corinthians Magna corinthians capitals…).

It is also possible to see the reconstitution of a buried burial in Dafnya, which ceramic pots and lamps have allowed from the th century. and Des tombs.

The top room presents black and white photographs of the Islamic heritage of Misratha. It also houses a beautiful collection of oil lamps (th century BC) and a collection of coloured ceramic pots discovered in Misratha (th and th centuries). ).
