Tunisia’s capital city is home to the world-class Bardo Museum, the ruins of Carthage, traditional hammams, and an ancient Medina, once considered one of the greatest and wealthiest cities in the Islamic world. Founded around the original core of the remarkable Zaitouna Mosque, Tunis’ Medina has been a UNESCO World Heritage Site since 1979 and contains colorful marketplaces, endless alleyways, and 700 monuments, including palaces, mosques, mausoleums, madrasas, and fountains. #tunis #tunisia #mediterranean #africa
