Bab El Kasbah, Historic gate in Medina of Sfax, Tunisia
The Bab El Kasbah features two entrances with stone columns and leads to a square bordered by traditional religious structures and gardens.
Initially known as Bab Jedid, this entrance was constructed during the late 19th century to reduce congestion at other gates of the Medina.
The gate connects to a central square where the Sidi Ilyes mosque, Cheikh Meftah Mausoleum, and Madrasa Abbassiya demonstrate Islamic architectural heritage.
Visitors can access the gate through Ali Belhouane Avenue, which connects to the Resistance Square and Dakar Gardens in modern Sfax.
The 1960 renovation added a secondary entrance beside the main gate, creating a dual-entry system into the historical Medina district.
