The Ribat of Monastir is located within a powerful Kasbah overlooking the plaza. Founded around 796 AD. BC by Ben Harthama Ayan, he was indeed included in the ninth century in the most powerful fortifications.
The entrance opens Ribat at the foot of a polygonal tower, an angled corridor, flanked by guard rooms, leading to the courtyard where stands in its southeast corner the Nadhour, high circular tower lookout.
From the top of Nadhour, visitors can admire a beautiful view of the city of Monastir and the infinite blue of the sea
