Tripoli Medina (Old City)

Tripoli Medina (Old City)
Tripoli, Libya (LY)
Tripoli Medina is an ancient walled city, dating from Roman times. Its high walls were originally built on the landward side to repel attacks from the interior, and these survived many invasions throughout the centuries.

The city's sea-facing wall is less ancient, however, as it was built in the 8th century by Tripoli's Muslim ruler.
