The Red Castle!

Hi followers!

The Red Castle

Today, we wanted to see more beautiful places. The first thing we visited was The Assaraya al-Hamra, or the Red Castle. 

This is a huge palace complex with multiple courtyards. This castle is located in the heart of Tripoli. In the castle, there are some statues and fountains that have been preserved from the past. Untill now, this is the best thing we have seen in this country.

The Jamahiriya Museum

While we were there, we also visited the Jamahiriya Museum, which is also known as the Red Castle Museum or Assaraya Alhamara Museum. It is the national museum of Libya and it is one of Tripoli’s most popular tourist attraction because as tourist, we learned here more about the history of the country. This is a vast museum with different floors.
On all these floors we could see several things such as the conversion from Romans through Christianity, Islamic ethnicity, daily chores and scenes of the Turkish kitchen, the Libyan chronology, … and there is also a wing dedicated to Libya’s fight for independence.We can say that this museum is an example of the spontaneous beauty. 

After our visit, we went to our hotel to relax a little bit because it was already a tiring holiday.
Now, I have to go because we will look for something to eat.

But keep following us!
