The Tunisia Photos:-

The 4th holiest Mosque in Islam, is one of the oldest & largest in Tunisia.

A very simple, but impressive mosque.

All the columns were taken from various early Roman ruins. To me the fact that none of the columns or capitals matched made the interior & the courtyard look a little bit ludicrous.

Unlike the Great Mosque, this Zaouia (i.e. mausoleum) is very ornate.

Attached to the Zaouia is a Madrasa.

Tucked away in the centre of the French colonial area is this colourful mosque - almost opposite the very grand Catholic cathedral.
