Le Kef - Dar el Kous

In Rue Farhat Hached, which leads east from Avenue Habib Bourguiba in Le Kef, is a three-aisled early Christian church dedicated to St Peter and now known as the Dar el Kous (restored). Until Tunisia became independent services were still held in the vaulted narthex of the church. Over the lintel of the doorway, on the right-hand outer wall, are Christian symbols. The raised apse, excellently preserved, is similar to that of the fortified church at Haidra.
