Tripoli Old Town (and Gates)Bab Al-Bahr, Bab Zanata and Bab Hawara are the Old City's north,
west and southeast gates. The old city is an open-air museum filled
with beautiful old buildings and exquisite pieces of architecture
from Tripoli's long and tumultuous colonial history particularly
the Roman and Greek periods. Visitors are able to climb the city
walls and the top offers up spectacular views of both the Old City
and the rest of Tripoli. The top of the city walls also offer great
photo opportunities for those wishing to capture the Red Castle in
all its glory as well as the many minarets scattered across the
skyline, especially those of Gurgi and Karamanli mosques. Address: Tripoli, Old City |
