Tunis Governorate

Tunis Governorate encompasses 288 square kilometers of northeastern Tunisia, containing multiple delegations and municipalities organized in a structured administrative system.

The administrative region gained prominence during the French protectorate period in the early 20th century, maintaining its status after Tunisia's independence in 1956.

The administrative structure reflects Mediterranean governance traditions through its multi-tiered system of delegations, municipalities, and local sectors.

The governorate operates under a four-digit postal code system starting with 10, facilitating efficient mail distribution across its numerous administrative subdivisions.

With over 3,000 individuals per square kilometer, this administrative division maintains the highest population density among Tunisia's 24 governorates.
