Tunis

UNESCO: Medina of Tunis

Tunis – Tunisia

The city of Tunis stands along the Mediterranean coast near the ancient ruins of Carthage. As the capital of Tunisia, Tunis has long served as the political, cultural, and economic center of the country.

The modern city spreads outward from the historic Medina of Tunis, where narrow streets and traditional markets preserve the atmosphere of the medieval Islamic city. Beyond the medina, wide boulevards and European-style architecture reflect the influence of the French colonial period.

Today Tunis blends historic neighborhoods with a modern Mediterranean capital, linking ancient heritage with contemporary life.
