Bab Saadoun, Historic gateway in Tunis, Tunisia
The Bab Saadoun gate features three stone arches that serve as a primary entrance point to the medina of Tunis.
The original structure from 1350 contained a single narrow arch until reconstruction in 1881 expanded it to accommodate increased traffic flow.
This monumental entrance represents traditional Islamic architectural elements while functioning as a connection point for routes to Béja, Bizerte, and El Kef.
Located at coordinates 36.8086°N 10.1590°E, the gate stands near the Bab Saadoun Louage Station, facilitating regional transportation throughout Tunisia.
The gate bears the name of Saint Sidi Bou Saadoun and marks the boundary between the historic medina and modern Tunis.
