Kalat El Koubba

The rooms surrounding the courtyard of this funduq (caravanserai) contain naff mannequin displays of day-to-day life under the Ottomans. The building is thought to have been built in the late 11th century and its most striking feature is a cupola with remarkable zigzag ribbing outside and fluted detailing inside.
