🎧 Listen to Introduction
Kairouan was founded in 670 and flourished under the Aghlabid dynasty in the 9th century. Although the political capital was moved to Tunisia in the 12th century, Kairouan remains the main holy city of the Maghreb. Its rich architectural heritage includes the Great Mosque, with its marble and porphyry columns, and the 9th-century Three-Doored Mosque.
