Medina of Sousse,Tunisia


Sousse was an important commercial and military port during the Aghlabid period (800–909) and is a typical example of a town dating from the first centuries of Islam. With its kasbah, ramparts, medina (with the Great Mosque), Bu Ftata Mosque and typical ribat (both a fort and a religious building), Sousse was part of a coastal defence system.So nice of you Mohmed Elloumi to send this card once again as the earlier one might have been lost in transit and was caught by surprise..
