The old port  In modern times, that is since 1895, a straight and wide canal has connected the Bizerte Lake with the Mediterranean Sea. Before that, in times of Ottoman dominance or the time of the sea pirates, a smaller port passed through further north. Around this, the part of town which still feels like the true centre, was established. Of this today, two fortresses still guard the entrance, the smaller one called ksiba, the larger known by the standard name of kasbah. Both stand out as very visually attractive, especially when you throw in the views of the port of the media as well.There was for a long time a small island in the centre of the media, covering the area of the main markets in down town. For centuries this little island served as the main quarters of European tradesmen.
