Tunis - Kasbah Mosque

Rue du Château in Tunis leads to Boulevard Bab Menara, one of the ring of streets round the Medina. Along this street to the north (right) can be seen the square minaret (1235), with typical Andalusian/Moorish interlace decoration, of the Kasbah or Almohad Mosque. The minaret dates back to the 13th century Hafsid Kasbah, which was demolished soon after Tunisia became independent. The mosque is usually closed.
