Very
cute
small
fort
right
by
the
water,
in
touristy
area
of
the
town.
8TND
pp
entry
is
well
worth
it.
WCs
in
good
shape,
lots
of
stairs
and
tower
to
climb
around
(keep
two
hands
free,
some
are
narrow
and
irregular...don't
fall!).
Nothing
pretty
here,
all
coarse
carved
rock,
sloppy
mortar,
no
finished
edges,
no
polish,
no
lapped
floors,
no
plants,
no
cover
(beware
in
summer
it
was
be
scorching
hot
and
bright).
This
fort
is
all
about
pure
defense.
Definitely
climb
the
tower
(one
at
a
time,
yell
from
the
bottom
or
top),
but
beware
it's
very
narrow.
Short
climb
though,
decent
light
so
not
too
hazardous.
Cute
view
from
up
top
but
only
room
for
2-3
people
at
most
(and
not
much
for
safety
fence
either).
If
not
crowded
give
it
a
shot.
Small
museum
has
some
artifacts
from
Kairouan,
some
coins,
nothing
so
great.
Come
to
the
fort
to
climb
around,
views
of
the
port
and
town.
Parking
gratis
on
the
street
outside
(off
season).
