The gateway to Africa is also one of North Africa’s oldest cities, and has seen a myriad of powers come and go including the Phoenicians, Carthaginians, Romans, Vandals, Byzantines and an array of European powers, all of which have left their mark. Tangier, a strategic city at the entrance of the Mediterranean, is divided into an old walled city, or medina, and a new modern city, the ville nouvelle.
