The illustration shows “Bab Saâdoun”, a monumental gate remarkable for its three-arched structure, located northwest of the medina. Originally built in the 14th century and later remodeled, it is topped with a flying national flag, emphasizing its dimension as a patriotic symbol and major urban landmark. This stamp highlights the ingenuity of Tunisian builders who were able to create majestic access points facilitating transit to the interior regions, making this gate an icon of welcome and geographical connectivity of the capital.
