The Ribat of Monastir is an imposing fortress located on the shores of the Mediterranean Sea, in the heart of the city of Monastir. Considered the oldest and most important ribat in the Maghreb, it was founded in 796, and was expanded on the northern side during the Aghlabid reign (9th century) and then on the southern side during the Fatimid dynasty, around 966. Subsequently, construction work carried out around 1424, during the Hafsid period, significantly increased its area to 4,200 m². Since August 5, 1958, the ribat has housed a museum of Islamic art.
