Tunis - Cathedral of St-Vincent-de-Paul

Avenue Habib Bourguiba in Tunis runs into Place de l'Indépendance, at the north end of which is the Cathedral of St-Vincent-de-Paul (1882), whose massive neo-Romanesque facade seems out of place at the gates of the Oriental old town. The Cathedral is the largest surviving building of the colonial period in Tunis. It contains the tomb of the Unknown Soldier.
