Borj el Kebir is a fortress built by the Turks almost on the very edge of the cape. Another name for Borj Mahdia. Thick walls (up to 10 m thick) with three corner bastions turn it into a powerful military facility.
In the inner courtyard of the fortress there is a kubba of Gazi Mustafa, where there is a small exhibition of ceramic products.
