Monastir, Administrative division in eastern Tunisia
Located in the northeast of Tunisia, Monastir Governorate encompasses 1,019 square kilometers of Mediterranean coastal territory with numerous beaches and agricultural lands.
The Monastir Governorate, established in 1974, developed from an ancient region that contained the Punic-Roman settlement of Ruspina near the Mediterranean coast.
The University of Monastir, with sixteen academic departments and over 27,000 students, stands as a central educational institution for the entire northeastern region.
The governorate includes thirteen delegations, including Bekalta, Bembla, and Ksar Hellal, connected through an electrified metro system to neighboring coastal cities.
The territory maintains substantial agricultural production, with 86 percent of its land dedicated to farming olives, vegetables, and raising livestock.
