When you get a chance, be sure to walk around the The Assaraya al-Hamra, (the Red Castle), a vast palace complex with numerous courtyards that dominates the city skyline and is located on the outskirts of the medina. There are some classical statues and fountains from the Ottoman period scattered around the castle. The basic street plan of the medina was laid down in the Roman period when the walls were constructed as protection against attacks. The city walls are still standing and can be climbed for good views of the city. For a relaxed time, be sure to lounge around in The Jamahiriya Museum, a fine modern facility located in the Red Castle, is Libya’s national museum. It houses many artifacts from the country’s Roman and Greek periods, including treasures from the World Heritage sites at Leptis Magna and Sabratha, as well as politically motivated displays such as the Volkswagen Beetle car driven by Gadaffi in the 1960s.
