Bab SaadounBab Saadoun is one of the gates of the medina of Tunis, the capital of Tunisia.HistoryFirst constructed circa 1350 on the edge of the suburb of Bab Souika, it originally had only one narrow arch and it was replaced in 1881 by a gate with three arches, better adapted to the volume of traffic coming from the routes to Béja, Bizerte and El Kef. It is named after a pious man, Sidi Bou Saadoun, who lived nearby in the 15th century.
