The gates of Sfax are the entrances into the Medina quarter of Sfax, Tunisia.
History
editUntil the 20th century, the medina of Sfax had only two entrances: Bab Diwan in the southern facade, and Bab Jebli in the northern one.[1] During the 20th century, many new gates were built in order to decongest the medina and promote the exchange with the external areas.[2]
