Tunis - Mausoleum of Aziza Othman

From Bab el Bahr in Tunis along Rue de la Kasbah it is worth while turning into Rue el Jelloud to see, at the end of Impasse Echemmahia (No. 9), the Mausoleum of Aziza Othman. Aziza ("Beloved One"), daughter of Bey Othman, who died about 1643, was much loved by the people of Tunis for her piety and her charitable works. The mausoleum, now in the forecourt of a private house, can be seen on payment of a small fee. From here we can return by way of the Souk el Blaghija, the souk of the slipper-makers, to Rue de la Kasbah, which leads back to the starting-point of the tour at Bab el Bahr (Porte de France).
