The historic core of Tunis is a dense maze of covered markets, craft workshops, and centuries-old mansions, centered on the Zitouna Mosque. Founded in the early Islamic period, the medina holds hundreds of monuments and remains a living quarter of artisans and merchants. It is recognized as a UNESCO World Heritage site.
