THE MEDINA OF SOUSSE (Tunisia)
Sousse is located about 90 miles south of Tunis, capital of Tunisia, along the Mediterranean coast. Once a Phoenician trading post in the classical period, its medina or walled city was built at the dawn of Islamic civilization, and features a Kasbah (fortress), ramparts, and a Grand Mosque. Today it houses an Archaeological Museum containing inscriptions from the time of Carthage.
