It was rebuilt at the time of Sultan Sidi Mohammed Ben Abdallah (Mohammed III 1757 - 1790) on the remains of an old probably Carthaginian fortress and a Phoenician megdul. It was used in antiquity as a lighthouse with a wood fire. It collapsed on January 13, 1856 following a catastrophic flood of Oued Ksob.
