Located in the heart of Tunis' medina, this important mosque was founded in 734 and built on a site once occupied by a church. It was totally rebuilt in the 9th century and restored many times over the centuries, and its huge prayer hall incorporates more than 200 columns scrounged from Roman Carthage.
The Tourbet el Bey is a Tunisian royal mausoleum in the southwest of the medina of Tunis. It is the last resting place of most of the Husainid dynasty rulers of Tunisia. Among those not buried there are the last two - Moncef Bey, who is buried in the Jellaz Cemetery and Lamine Bey who is buried in La Marsa. The building, constructed in the reign of Ali II ibn Hussein (1759-1782) is the largest funerary monument in Tunis. The first tourba of Al-Husayn I ibn Ali stands opposite it.
This colorful and unique bazaar is located in the capital. It was built in the 19th century, and a special place here is occupied by food products - different kinds of cheese, fresh bread, aromatic fruits and vegetables, spices, sweets, olive oil. Wicker baskets are given away almost for free so that you can carry your purchases away conveniently and beautifully.
Souk El Attarine or souk of spice traders, is the name by which most spice markets are referred to in Arab countries in the Middle East. Old cities (Jerusalem, Damascus, Amman, Beirut, Tunis, Marrakach) were often divided into segments based on what was sold - meat, spices, fabrics and so on - and attarine, which means spice traders in Arabic, refers to the spice market.
The Cathedral of St. Vincent de Paul is a Catholic church located in the city of Tunis, Tunisia. The church is the cathedral of the Archdiocese of Tunis and is named after Saint Vincent de Paul, who, as a Catholic priest, was ransomed from Arab slavery in Tunisia.
The Royal Victoria Hotel, originally built in 1828 as the focal point of Burton's St Leonards, derives its name from Queen Victoria who stayed at the hotel. Originally named the St Leonards Hotel, the Royal Victoria was built in 1828 by renowned architect James Burton as part of his grander vision to create a new seaside resort. The hotel received the Royal Charter from Queen Victoria, who visited on numerous occasions, and later again from King George V.

About Tunis

Tunis grew around its medina, a World Heritage maze of vaulted lanes, mosques, palaces and souks that spreads from the Zitouna Mosque. The souks specialise: perfumes, gold, leather and the red felt caps called chechia each have their own alleys.
