It is a beautiful and historic place and has a great meaning in Tunisia and is the gateway to the old town and the Azituna Mosque

Bab Bahr is one of the doors of the old city of Tunis. Built in the Aghlabid era, is located in the eastern wall of the ancient city. Tells some of the beliefs that the sea was reaching him, which never happened. But he took his name from being opened to the sea. It is actually located off the lake of Tunis, making it easy to move between the city and the harbor in the lake. The door is shaped like an arch. In 1860, and after the destruction of the walls, which became worthless. The door was dismantled and re-installed at the entrance to the marina, at the request of the consul of France, Leon Roche, who had been taken from Bay, Tunisia in 1857, to build the consulate headquarters outside the walls on the Maritime Road. The door of the sea took the name of the door of France during French colonization of Tunisia, a name still used today. In 1931, the surrounding buildings were demolished. On November 23, 1925, the French General Resident of Saint Tonslucian gave the statue of Cardinal Charles Marciel not carrying the cross. The municipality of Tunis decided to place it in the courtyard overlooking Bab Bahr. It was dissolved in 1962 by a decision by Mayor Ali Al-Bilhwan. Transfer to the Carthage Museum Park
