Hammamet

Located on the Mediterranean coast, Hammamet extends along white sandy beaches surrounded by orange and lemon groves at the southeastern end of Cap Bon.

The fortified medina walls, initially constructed by the Aghlabids in the 9th century, underwent significant renovations during the Ottoman period in the 16th century.

Traditional fishing methods in Hammamet include night-light fishing techniques for sardines and mackerel, passed down through generations of local fishermen families.

The municipality provides modern infrastructure and services to its 97,579 residents while maintaining extensive public beaches and tourism facilities throughout the coastal area.

The ancient defensive walls integrate multiple architectural styles from different periods, featuring distinctive square towers and strategic positions overlooking the Mediterranean Sea.
