SOUSSE RIBAT
Read moreThe ribat, on which a large paved square opens, dates back to the 8th century. Designed for military purposes, but also for religious studies, it presents a sober architecture with small cells distributed around an interior courtyard. Dominated by a nador and several towers at each corner, it also includes a prayer room. The whole is in good condition. From the top of the ribat, superb view on the city and on the courtyard of the great mosque! Even if this ribat is smaller than the one of Monastir, it remains charming despite everything!
MEDINA
Read moreListed since 1988 as a Unesco World Heritage Site, the medina of Sousse is considered a typical example of the cities of the first centuries of Islam in the Maghreb. It retains its kasbah and its ramparts but also its Great Mosque, its ribat and the mosque Bou Ftata, a military and religious building. On the tower of Khalef is also a lighthouse since 1890. Without any doubt, you will go up and down its numerous alleys to discover the monuments of great importance which are still there today.
