Μεντίνα (πολεοδομικό σχήμα): Διαφορά μεταξύ των αναθεωρήσεων

A '''medina quarter''' ({{lang-ar|حي, مدينة}}) is a distinct city section found in many [[North Africa]]n cities. The medina is typically walled, contains many narrow and [[maze|maze-like]] streets, and was built by [[Arabs]] as far back as the 9th century [[Common Era|CE]].

Medinas often contain historical [[fountains]], [[palaces]], and [[mosques]]. The monuments are preserved for their cultural significance (and are also a draw for tourists).
