Tunis-Medina vs Ville Nouvelle

Yeah! Tunis is divided into the old city, known as the medina, and the new city, or ville nouvelle in French. 

Location: Africa.Tunis
Tunis is located on the Mediterranean coast but lacking much in the way of beaches, Tunis has been spared the onslaught of package tourism in the resorts to the north and south. 

The Souq in the medina makes for a fascinating stroll. Tiny shops overflowing with stuff.

Bab El Bahr (The large stone-arch "French Gate" at the head of Avenue DeFrance) is a good starting point for the Souk.

Zitouna Mosque is  the largest mosque in Tunis and an important landmark.

Cathedral of St. Vincent de Paul Built in 1882, this is the largest surviving building from Tunis' colonial era, in the neo-Romanesque style.

Clock Tower is of of the landmark in Tunis.
