This was an unexpected find for me, as I thought i'd seen all of Bizerte. But on my last evening, I took a walk behind the kasbah and came across a couple of old streets beside a cemetery. Above this was a Spanish fort, containing a modern outdoor theatre and far too many barking dogs for my liking. Apparently this used to be the Andalusian quarter of town, and dates from the arrival of Muslim and Jewish refugees from Andalusia in 1609.
You can follow the remains of the fortress walls up and over the hill, but they don't take you anywhere exciting...just the town prison and the youth hostel, easily confused. On the way back, you can enter the medina and try to navigate a path back to the old port...not easy, especially when you consider how small the medina is.
