Monastir

Don’t miss a visit to the large IX century Mosque located next to the ribat, which was rebuilt in the XI century. Another important building is the Bourguiba Mosque, which was built in 1963 to the north-west of the marina, in the centre of the city. This building has three domes (two green and one golden) and two minarets that mark the entrance to the complex. It is in fact the Mausoleum of Bourguiba, the first president of Tunisia, and in spite of the fact that it is a recent building, it was constructed according to traditional designs. The prayer room is decorated with 86 red marble columns and can house up to 1,000 worshippers.
