Walls of Old Medina
Notable Landmarks

The old medina

The Sultan Sidi Mohammed Ben Abdallah reinforced the medina's ramparts in 1770. The Sqala symbolizes his reign. You will have a fine view of the medina and the port from this stronghold, now converted into a restaurant. The port was built at the turn of the 20^th century and is protected by a 3180m long artificial pier. The El Hank lighthouse, built in 1920 to facilitate access to the port, symbolizes the city's economic success. A very busy market is held in Place de la Comédie, to the west of the medina, where you will also find a pleasant public garden where the koubba (shrine) of Sidi Bou Smara is situated. Before you leave the medina by the impressive Bab El Mersa, the navy gate, visit the Sidi Kairouani sanctuary which is near Tnaker Street.
