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

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 rare sighting in Tunisia, a church of this size. Nice and imposing building. It was closed at the time of my visit. It can be found not far from the Médina and is directly opposite Ibn Khaldoun Statue and I love Tunis sign.

Innanzi tutto l ingresso non è dal lato della facciata principale ma dietro, non fate come me che ci sono passate 3 giorni di fila controllando il cartello dell orario e non capendo come mai fosse sempre chiusa.(.la polizia staziona fissa davanti all ingresso principale essendo zona sensibile ai possibili attentati) .... . Finalmente al 3 giorno ho avuto l intuizione di percorrere tutto il perimetro e quando ho visto un cancello con la polizia che perquisiva le borse ho capito!! Dentro è semplice ma bella : sopra l altare splendide raffigurazioni e ai lati delle vetrate colorate. Ovviamente non si possono scattare foto. Ingresso libero

La cathédrale de Tunis est un lieu d'une beauté exceptionnelle, où l'art et la spiritualité se rencontrent harmonieusement. Dès l'entrée, on est frappé par la rigueur de la sécurité, qui témoigne du respect et de la valeur accordés à ce lieu sacré. Les vitraux, avec leurs couleurs éclatantes, illuminent l'intérieur et créent une atmosphère de sérénité et de recueillement. Le travail constant de la femme de ménage assure une propreté impeccable, permettant à chacun de profiter pleinement de la splendeur de cette cathédrale. C'est un endroit à visiter absolument pour quiconque apprécie l'art, l'histoire et la tranquillité.
