Gates of Sfax
The gates of Sfax are the entrances into the Medina quarter of Sfax, Tunisia.
Medina of Sfax
History
Until the 20th century, the medina of Sfax had only two entrances: Bab Diwan in the southern facade, and Bab Jebli in the northern one.[1] During the 20th century, many new gates were built in order to decongest the medina and promote the exchange with the external areas.[2]
