Artisan Workshop: the Medina is home to artisans practicing traditional and old-fashioned skills that have long since died out in other parts of the world or have been replaced by modern technology. Watch potters work their wheels at workshops that double as souvenir shops or see how blocks of wood are transformed over lathes into fine sculptures. Hannibal and the Elephant: a must-have picture for any collection of photographs of Hammamet is of the wonderful life-sized statues of Hannibal and his elephants that are located within the limits of the Medina. Kasbah of XV: as its name implies, this structure was built in the 15th century out of the remnants of an old fortress from the 12th century. Visitors can take a walk up the ramparts for some fairly stunning views across the city. Medina: Hammamet’s Medina is fairly typical of an Arabic town’s old quarter, offering narrow winding streets on which one can experience a vast range of fascinating sights, sounds, smells and tastes. Tacky souvenirs to take home as gifts for family and friends can be picked up easily here, while more authentic local handmade goods are also commonly available. |
