Kelibia Fortress
Kelibia Fortress submitted by AlexHunger : Towards the tip of the Tunisian Cap Bon, this fascinating fort has served every culture that has ruled the country; The Carthaginians, the Romans, the Arabs, the Germans and most recently the Tunisian National Guard. Although it has been restored many times, the bottom row of masonry is undoubtly Antique. (Vote or comment on this photo)
