Zitouna Mosque

Located in the center of the old city of Tunis, the capital of Tunisia, it is one of the city's oldest and most symbolic religious buildings. Its history can be traced back to the 8th century AD.

The Zaytuna Mosque is not only a masterpiece of religion architecture, but also a symbol of Tunisian history and culture. Its long history, unique architectural style and profound academic tradition make it an important window for studying religion  civilization and North African history. For tourists and scholars, the Zaytuna Mosque provides an opportunity to gain an in-depth understanding of Tunisia's cultural heritage.
