This print captures the essence of ancient Tunisia, specifically Sousse's Medina. The focal point is a remarkable fortified religious building known as Ribat, which dates back to the 11th century. This architectural marvel stands tall and proud, showcasing the rich history and cultural heritage of this Middle Eastern gem. The Ribat's imposing structure reflects its medieval origins and serves as a testament to the power of Islam during that era. Its strategic location within Sousse adds an air of mystery and intrigue to this historical site.
