Ribat of Monastir
The Ribat of Monastir is the oldest and most important defensive fortification built along the North African coast by the Arab conquerors in the early days of Islam. This building was founded in 796 and underwent several restorations during the Middle Ages. Four buildings fall into two inner courtyards, and it also includes a spiral staircase of about a hundred degrees leading to the watchtower, at the top of which visual messages were exchanged at night with the neighboring Rabat towers, from which visitors can enjoy a wonderful view of the city of Monastir and the open sea, and it hosts Rabat in the summer many events that are part of the Monastir International Festival.
