36 TN - Medina of Tunis (1979)

Brief Description

"Under the Almohads and the Hafsids, from the 12th to the 16th century, Tunis was considered one of the greatest and wealthiest cities in the Islamic world. Some 700 monuments, including palaces, mosques, mausoleums, madrasas and fountains, testify to this remarkable past."

突尼斯的阿拉伯人聚居区

"12至16世纪,突尼斯处在阿尔摩哈维斯和哈斯底斯王朝的统治下,是当时伊斯兰世界中最强大、最富庶的城市之一。宫殿、清真寺、陵墓、伊斯兰学校和喷泉等700多处标志性建筑展示着它昔日的辉煌。"
