Traditionally a fishing port, Monastir is now a major tourist resort. Its population is 41,400. Monastir was founded on the ruins of the Punic–Roman city of Ruspina. The city features a well preserved Ribat that was used to scan the sea for hostile ships. Several ulema came to stay in the Ribat of this peaceful city for contemplation. The Ribat was also one of the filming locations for Monty Python's Life Of Brian. == Teams == Please add links to your team(s) name here: * [[/IEEE_GOLD_Tunisia|IEEE GOLD Tunisia Affinity Group & TunAndroid Community]] (The idea of adding another team page is that there may be more than one team in a region/city) == Create a new Team page: == <> In all cases you need to keep the {{{CategoryCity2012}}} to allow your city to be listed! ---- CategoryCity2012
