The Great Mosque of Kairouan, considered the 3rd most important Islamic monument in the Arab world after Mecca and Jerusalem

The Medina of Kairouan is a true open-air museum and still alive with Arab-Muslim art and architecture by its monuments (more than a hundred), its souks, its houses and its alleys which remain a convincing testimony of his prestigious past.
