Abstract
Ksar Kourdane is an architectural masterpiece that can be considered as a model with its aesthetic appeal that reveals the skill of the masters who built it. This Ksar offers a window into the history of this city and has preserved the heritage of the region; it represents one of the places frequented by tourists. It is an authentic symbol of the fusion of cultures and civilizations, as well as the opening up of Muslim culture to the world around it. The Ksar was built according to an architecture that combines modern and traditional style. Compared to other ksours of the region, Ksar Kourdane has retained its architectural authenticity in terms of configuration and materials. The architectural style is preserved and the earthen structures are perfectly adapted to the climatic conditions and they are in harmony with the natural and social environment. However, new challenges arise when a balance must be found between function, residents’ needs, heritage questions and the need for new buildings. Authenticity is particularly vulnerable due to improper protection. That’s why it should be nominated in the UNESCO World Heritage List to preserve this great heritage.
