Useful to know

The Medina of Tunis preserves palaces, mosques, mausoleums, madrasas and fountains. Its heyday between the 12th and 16th centuries is related to the city's role as an important center of wealth and influence. [1]

The architectural history here does not end with the most representative palace. On a map, he noted the various public functions and their links with the residential streets. The fountain, for example, is a different type of urban element from the closed palace complex. This way of viewing helps to recognize the acting logic of the medina as a medium for many types of daily use.
