Description
This stamp illustrates “Bab Jedid”, the “New Gate” of the medina of Tunis, built in the 13th century under the reign of the Hafsid sovereigns. The illustration emphasizes the massive and defensive aspect of its cut stone masonry, characteristic of medieval fortifications intended to protect the city. As a gateway opening onto the tanners' district and the southern suburbs, it symbolizes the urban sustainability of the Tunisian capital and the importance of preserving the fortified heritage, witness to economic exchanges and the historical social organization of the city.
