Old quarter of a North African city (6)

I believe the answer is:

casbah

(Other definitions for casbah that I've seen before include "Area around a castle in Algiers" , "Area around a castle in a N African town" , "Citadel of N African cities" , "area round Algiers fortress" , "Market place in a N African town" .)

I've seen this clue in the Sydney Morning Herald.
