The ramparts of Monastir, Tunisia, are an integral part of the historic defensive complex of the medina, including the Ribat (built from 795-796) and the Casbah. These imposing fortifications protected the holy city and demonstrate robust medieval architecture, often associated with the region's defensive structures such as that of Sousse.
