MEDERSA EL MOURADIA

Dated 1673, it's not to be missed. Today craft school, it was built for students of Malekite rite, therefore Tunisian, by the Mouradite beys; wealthy, but without any legitimacy by their Hanafite (Ottoman) origin. Seeking full recognition from the Tunisian population, they financed the construction of this beautiful medersa in the place of a former Ottoman barracks. Once the studded door is passed, one reaches an elegant courtyard with gallery, others in floor bringing to the unit smoothness and harmony.
