Kasbah Square, known locally as Place de la Kasbah, is a majestic open plaza situated at the western edge of the Tunis Medina. It acts as a vital bridge between the historic old city and the modern Ville Nouvelle. At its heart stands the National Monument of the Kasbah, a powerful concrete memorial built in 1989. The square is surrounded by important government ministries and sits on the site of a 12th-century fortified citadel. Unlike the narrow, bustling streets of the nearby souks, Kasbah Square offers a sense of calm and spaciousness. It remains a focal point for national pride and civic gatherings, having played a central role in the country's 2011 revolution.
