The Medina of Tunis

From what was once a small Berber village, Tunis has transformed over the centuries into a cosmopolitan city. Long the capital of several dynasties with universal influence, it was considered, from the 12th to the 16th century, as one of the most important and richest cities of the Arab world. Since the twelfth century, the Medina, was and still the beating heart of the city.

From these successive dynasties, there are many testimonies of these periods of high glory and political, religious and cultural influence. With its walls and its imposing doors, its alleys and its souks with ancestral craftsmanship, its residences and prestigious palaces, its traditional hammams and its innumerable religious monuments, the Medina of Tunis is one of those well preserved in the Arab world.

All these monuments that constitute the Medina are now protected through its World Heritage status by UNESCO.
