PORTO FARINA

This article appears in Volume V22, Page 123 of the Encyclopedia Britannica.

Encyclopedia Britannica - Main :: POL-PRE
PORTO FARINA , a town of Tunisia about 20 M. E. of
Bizerta
 , on the Ghar-el-Mela, a
lagoon
 , also known as the Lake of
Porto
  Farina, at the mouth of the Mejerda (the ancient Bagradas).
Porto
  Farina was the naval
arsenal
  of the piratical beys of
Tunis
  and was bombarded by the
English
  under
Admiral
  Blake in 1655. The
lagoon
  has become very shallow in consequence of the silt brought down by the Mejerda. The town has ceased to be important, and its inhabitants have dwindled to about 1500. The ruins to m. to the
south
 -west, near the
village
  of Bu Shater, are identified with the ancient Utica (q.v.).
