Kasbah Square, a monumental plaza at the entrance to Medina, holds deep significance in Tunisia’s history. Once the site of a fortified citadel (demolished post-independence), it now anchors administrative buildings like Tunis City Hall and the National Monument — a memorial to pivotal national events. Facing the iconic Kasbah Mosque, the square blends tradition and modernity with its red Tunisian flags and iconic black lanterns. Since 2011, it has also become a gathering place for political demonstrations, including historic sit-ins demanding government reform.

The Medina’s traditional hammams offer an authentic glimpse into Tunisian daily rhythms. Look for the distinctive green-and-red striped doorways marking these bathhouses. Remember to bring swimwear and slippers. Entry costs just a few dinars, with massages and other spa treatments available for a small extra fee.
