The town is still a busy fishing port and at its heart is the Medina, originally built around the Ribat but extended in the 18th century. The Medina in Monastir is undoubtedly worth visiting for the Ribat, from outside; (a sort of fortress for devout Muslim warriors), built at the end of the 8th century, with distinctive ramparts and a watchtower. Then on to Sousse, it has been an important port for every civilization visiting this coast. Though nowadays a modern, thriving commercial port and holiday resort, the ancient walled Medina retains the history of the town. The modern town has shops, cafés, bars and discotheques and most of the hotels are set along the promenade or directly on the beaches to the north of the centre. Apart from being able to bargain for souvenirs and handicrafts, while in the Medina it is well worth visiting the Ribat, a sort of fortress for devout Muslim warriors, dating back to the 9th century; the Great Mosque, also founded in the 9th century. Not far from Port El Kantaoui is a purpose built resort created in the late 70’s and situated just north of Sousse.
