Sousse - Zaouia Zakkak

100m/110yds west of the Ribat in Sousse is the striking octagonal minaret, in a style almost reminiscent of Renaissance architecture, of the Zaouia Zakkak, which dates from the Turkish period. The complex includes a mosque, a medersa (Koranic school) and a mausoleum. A notable feature is the arcading, borne on antique columns, round the square inner courtyard.
