🎧 Listen to Introduction
The Kasbah is a unique medina, or Islamic city. It sits on one of the most beautiful coastal sites in the Mediterranean, overlooking an island where a Carthaginian trading post was established in the 4th century BC. There are remnants of a castle, an ancient mosque and an Ottoman-style palace, as well as remnants of a traditional urban structure linked to a deep-rooted sense of community.
