La Goulette, Tunis’ ancient maritime gateway for centuries, perfectly illustrates the region’s historical and cultural diversity. At the gateway of the city stands the Fort de la Goulette, known as Karraka, built in the 16th century by the Spanish and then redesigned by the Ottomans. This monument bears witness to the city’s historical importance.
Formerly known as the most cosmopolitan place in Tunis, where all religions and ethnic groups coexisted in harmony, La Goulette still preserves a dynamic and vibrant atmosphere, making it a destination of choice for authentic experience lovers.
From the narrow streets of “Little Sicily” to the bustling markets, traditional cafés and open-air restaurants, La Goulette promises a full immersion experience in Mediterranean history and culture.
