Sousse Medina Hammam Sousse

You might recognize the dressed stone in the walls if you happen to be an ancient history buff. The huge rough blocks came from ancient Roman buildings. The Medina originally had six gates, but now only two are still standing. The two surviving are called Bab el Khabli and Bab el Gharbi. But gates aside, you can wander for hours in the Sousse medina and never get bored. It's smaller than some medina's you'll find, but big (765 yards x 545 yards) enough to offer a good selection of merchandise. It is also an outstanding example of Arab architecture that has remained unchanged over the hundreds of years of its existence.
