Kasbah Square, Tunis (must see)

The Kasbah Square (Place de la Kasbah) is a lively and active public square located in the heart of the historic Kasbah district in Tunis. It was established in the late 1950s following the demolition of the citadel of Tunis ramparts and adjacent buildings, becoming the center of a new urban and political complex that hosts public institutions and administrative offices.

Since the 2011 revolution, the square has been a site for various political demonstrations, including two significant sit-ins calling for government resignation and the election of a constituent assembly.

The square's centerpiece is the National Monument of the Kasbah, designed and executed by Tunisian sculptor Abdelfattah Boussetta in 1989, which serves as a memorial monument and symbol of several events in Tunisia.

Kasbah Square is located opposite the well-known Mosquée El-Kasbah and houses the City Hall of Tunis, representing the intersection of tradition and modernity. It is an attractive square with graceful black lanterns and many red Tunisian flags, close to downtown Tunis and within walking distance of other places like the old Medina.
