Port of La Goulette, Commercial port in La Goulette, Tunisia.
The Port of La Goulette stands as a primary maritime gateway to Tunisia, situated 9 miles from the center of Tunis on the Mediterranean coast.
The port area contains a fortress constructed in 1535 by Charles I of Spain, which later transferred to Ottoman control in 1574 through military conquest.
The port district maintains traces of its multicultural past through a former Sicilian quarter, named Little Sicily, reflecting the Italian influences in the region.
Two cruise terminals serve visitors, with the main facility containing shops designed like a traditional medina and 350 taxis available for transportation.
Local fishermen continue their daily routines at the port, bringing fresh catches while traditional Tunisian bands perform music for arriving cruise passengers.
