Tunis City, Tunisia
The Médina of Tunis is the historic old city of Tunis, Tunisia’s capital, founded in the 7th century and recognized as a UNESCO World Heritage site. It contains about 700 historic monuments including mosques, palaces, madrasas, mausoleums, fountains, and bustling souks, many dating from the 12th to 16th centuries during the Almohad and Hafsid dynasties.
The Zitouna Mosque is the spiritual and architectural heart of the medina, surrounded by narrow winding streets filled with artisans, shops, and traditional markets. The medina’s layout and architecture reflect Islamic and North African urban design, with cooling narrow alleys and vibrant commercial activity.
