TOURBET SIDI BOU KHRISSANE

Close to Bab Menara, northwest of the medina. Located on the site of the oldest cemetery in Tunis, this mausoleum bears the name, barely deformed, of the family that ruled the city in the 12th century (Beni Khorassen). One will be interested in particular in the very old inscriptions affixed to the stones. The primitive building was erected in the 11th century and houses the tombs of this famous dynasty. It has been restored and renovated over the centuries.
