Tunis, Tunisia – Rue Sidi Ben Arous Postcard Early 20th Century

This postcard captures the picturesque Rue Sidi Ben Arous in Tunis, Tunisia, a historic street nestled in the heart of the medina.
Rue Sidi Ben Arous is named after the revered 15th-century saint, Sidi Ben Arous, whose mausoleum is located nearby and is a site of pilgrimage. The street is part of the Medina of Tunis, which dates back to the 7th century and served as the political, cultural, and spiritual heart of the region during the Hafsid dynasty (13th–16th centuries).
Under Ottoman rule, the medina expanded, with new mosques, madrassas, and palaces built to enhance its prestige. The mosque featured in this image exemplifies the exquisite craftsmanship of this era, with its finely detailed geometric designs and harmonious proportions. Today, the medina is recognized as a UNESCO World Heritage Site, preserving the legacy of Tunisia’s Islamic and Mediterranean heritage.
The reverse side is unused, preserving its pristine state for collectors.
