Bab Menara (Arabic: باب منارة) is one of the gates of the medina of Tunis. It takes the name Bab Menara ("Gate of the Lighthouse"), either due to a lighthouse on the old palace, or due to a large oil lamp that was kept lit at the gate to illuminate the road for incoming caravans. The gate was finished by 1276, and connected the medina to El Haoua.
