Big old Catholic Church. They have great pictures and beautiful views. The Catholic church in Tunisia presently comprises only a single Latin archbishopric, in the national capital Tunis : the non-Metropolitan Roman Catholic Archdiocese of Tunis. There are no Eastern Catholic, pre-diocesan or other exempt jurisdictions in Tunisia. As this solo-episcopate warrants no national conference, it parttakes in the regional Episcopal conference of Northern Africa (French: Conférence Episcopale Régionale du Nord de l’Afrique, C.E.R.N.A.) together with Algeria, Morocco (hosting the headquarters in Rabat), Western Sahara and Libya, the 'Great Maghreb' (Arab region West of Egypt). There is also an Apostolic Nunciature (papal diplomatic representation at embassy-level) to Tunisia, which is however vested in the Apostolic Nunciature to neighbour Algeria (in Algiers). All defunct jurisdictions are precursors of current (residential or, mostly, titular) sees -from wikipedia

The Cathedral of St. Vincent de Paul (French: Cathédrale Saint-Vincent-de-Paul de Tunis) is a Roman Catholic church located in Tunis, Tunisia. The cathedral is dedicated to Saint Vincent de Paul, patron saint of charity. It is the episcopal see of the Archdiocese of Tunis and is situated at Place de l'Indépendence in Ville Nouvelle, a crossroads between Avenue Habib Bourguiba and Avenue de France, opposite the French embassy.

Una delle poche chiese cristiane in Tunisia. Si affaccia sulla trafficata via Bourguiba, centralmente pedonale e lateralmente utilizzata dagli autoveicoli ( pressappoco come la Rambla di Barcellona ) a poca distanza dal souk di Tunisi. Vedendola esternamente è di grande impatto, la scalinata che occupa tutta la facciata e il mosaico sopra la porta principale sono un bel biglietto da visita. Internamente non è molto luminosa e neppure molto decorata ma complessivamente risulta piacevole alla vista. È abbastanza ampia e durante la funzione religiosa è quasi sempre gremita di fedeli. Le pareti non sono affrescate ma ci sono alcune statue ad impreziosire la navata. Oltre alla lingua francese, la messa è officiata in italiano la domenica.

A nice cathedral (not spectacular) which is only open to tourists. Entry is currently around the side (not the main doors), but is free. There is a little museum inside as well. Worth a look for 10-15 minutes.

This is the beauty of Tunisia....right next to the populous old city of Tunisia, here is St Vincent Cathedral, refreshing memory of the impact of old colonial era on the society here......

If you visit the capital Tunis, stop 10 minutes in a quiet place like the cathedral dedicated to Saint Vincent de Paul, dedicated to charity. The schedule during the week is 08-12; 15-17.
