Kasbah Square, Public square in Kasbah district, Tunisia
Kasbah Square is a rectangular public plaza in the heart of Tunis, decorated with black lanterns and Tunisian flags throughout. Modern administrative buildings and office structures frame the space on all sides.
The square was created in the late 1950s following the removal of the Kasbah's defensive ramparts. This transformation reflected the city's shift toward modernization after gaining independence.
The monument at the center was created in 1989 by sculptor Abdelfattah Boussetta to commemorate important moments in Tunisian history. The square serves as a gathering place where people connect with the nation's past.
The square is within walking distance of Tunis's old town and offers easy access to administrative services. Visitors can explore the area entirely on foot, as it is designed as a pedestrian-only zone.
The square played a central role during 2011 political demonstrations that contributed to the country's democratic transformation. These events made the place a symbol of social change.
