Nestled in the heart of the medina of Tunis, the building represents the center around which the city was built.

The Grand Mosque of Kairouan

The Grand Mosque of Kairouan in Tunisia is one of the oldest shrines in the Western Muslim world, but it is also one of the most prestigious mosques. Moreover, It is named after its founder, Oqba Ibn Nafi. The mosque is the work of Ziyadat Allah, who razed the original mosque for reconstruction.

Ghriba Synagogue

The Ghriba synagogue locatedin Djerba, is the oldest in Tunisia, besides the center of the island's Jewish life is also a site of pilgrimage, whose status approaches that of the holy land.
