The Kasbah
The Kasbah, walled off from the Medina on the highest rise of the coast, was built on the site of the Roman settlement and has been the city’s palace and administration quarter since then. It was the British who destroyed the city’s medieval fortifications, including a great upper castle which covered the entire site of nowadays Kasbah. With its quiet streets and friendly inhabitants, it has a special character and its walls and gates command stunning views over the strait, the bay and the city as well.
