The Médina
Listed monument as early as 1979 by UNESCO, the Médina of Tunis counts among one of the most beautiful and richest medinas of the Islamic world. The labyrinth of the old city streets hosts about 670 monuments: mosques, zaouïas, medersas, palaces, mausoleum... Still relatively well preserved, the Medina offers a splendid example of the Muslim urbanism. |

Carthage : Punic, Roman, and so Tunisian:
|
Sidi Bou Said |
Carthage, 3000 year old, belongs to Human patrimony. Its cultural and economic influence on the antic world spreads over throughout centuries to leave its value of tolerance, openness and exchange to the modern Tunisia.

The Tunisian president Zine El Abidine increased the attractiveness of Carthage by creating the archeological park of Carthage: Sidi Bou Saïd. From the Punic vestiges to the Antonin thermal baths, from the Roman villas to the amphitheatre and archeologic museum, the park spreads from the hills to the coast, offering a verdant route to its visitors with a sense of eternity.
The Bardo
Today one of the most important museums of the world. Its reputation comes from the quality of its huge variety of archeological objects, treasures from the Tunisian history across centuries and its several civilizations. The building architecture in itself is also a treasure.
