We are proud of this book that Mare Nostrum delivers with the synergy of the municipalities of Tyre, Rhodes, Carthage and Marsaxlokk, thanks to the financial support of the European Commission, through the Euromed Heritage 4 program, and to the collaboration of our partners from Lebanon, Tunisia, Greece and Malta. This book is dedicated to the citizens of the cities, addressing the exigent visitor, planning or during his explorations, in a revisited "voyage a l'orient", under the magnifying glass of the Phoenician Mediterranean Routes of Water. This is the first time that a transnational vision unifies city ports, springing from a common history, actually risking to be forgotten, but powerful to create new links and harmonious coexistence. The four cities are presented through a photographic campaign, following the visit itineraries that Mare Nostrum has integrated into tourism plans and programs, tackling a highlighted tangible and intangible heritage, not always well evidenced by the traditional visit tours. Davide Virdis has interpreted these values in his exceptional pictures, offering to the cities a challenging promotional tool and to the visitors a key for access. We are grateful to the Mayors of the four cities, who assisted and facilitated this work, that otherwise could not have been possible.
