Medina of Sousse (1988)
Tunisia
Sousse was an important commercial and military port during the Aghlabid
period (800–909) and is a typical example of a town dating from the first
centuries of Islam. With its kasbah, ramparts, medina (with the Great Mosque),
Bu Ftata Mosque and typical ribat (both a fort and a religious building), Sousse
was part of a coastal defence system.
