法國風情加北非特色- 斯法克斯 (Sfax)

Sfax, also spelled Ṣafāqis, is one of Tunisia’s largest cities, a main outlet for the country’s central and southern regions, and a major fishing port with fish canneries. It is a major port town situated in east-central Tunisia on the northern shore of the Gulf of Gabes. The town was bombarded by the French in 1881 prior to their occupation of Tunisia and again in World War II, when it was used as an Axis base until captured by the British in 1943. Construction of the modern port was begun in 1895, but the port was destroyed—along with a large portion of the town itself—during the war. The subsequent reconstruction left Sfax divided into two parts: the town’s newer section and the old city (medina) .

斯法克斯(也稱Ṣafāqis)，是突尼西亞最大的城市之一，是該國中部和南部地區的主要海港，也是一個生產魚類罐頭的主要漁港。 它是位於突尼西亞中東部的一個主要港口城鎮，位於加貝斯灣北岸。 在1881年法國佔領突尼西亞之前及第二次世界大戰期間，均曾被法國轟炸。第二次世界大戰期間，它被用作軸心國基地直到1943年被英國占領。現代港口的建設始於1895年。由於在戰爭期間，港口與城鎮的大部分區域一起被摧毀， 隨後的重建使斯法克斯分為兩部分：城鎮的新區和舊城區（麥地那）。
