The port, located 12km east of Tunis, is the point of convergence of Tunisia’s major road and rail networks.
La Goulette was a popular summer resort in the 19th century, with an area known as “La Petite Sicile” that was home to a sizeable Jewish, Italian, and Maltese community. The town has several large thermal electric power plants. The remains of Hispano-Turkish fortifications lie inland.
