سوسة المدينة

Sousse Medina Essentials

This selection explores the UNESCO-listed Medina of Sousse, a fortress-like city center established during the 9th century. Key sites include the 8th-century Ribat and the Great Mosque, notable for its austere architecture and lack of a minaret. The Kasbah stands at the highest point of the fortifications, housing a world-class archaeological museum featuring Roman mosaics. Within the labyrinthine streets, traditional 19th-century houses and unique fluted-dome structures like El-Kobba offer insights into local history, while the sandy shores of Boujafar Beach provide a contrast to the ancient souks.
