Khaldounia, Islamic educational center in Medina of Tunis, Tunisia
The Khaldounia combines a madrasa and library within a structure that exhibits North African architectural elements and detailed stonework patterns.
Founded as part of the traditional madrasas of Tunis, this institution became a center for Islamic studies and knowledge transmission in North Africa.
The library maintains collections of manuscripts and documents that demonstrate the intellectual developments of Islamic scholarship through centuries.
The madrasa stands in the Medina district of Tunis, accessible through the main gates and traditional market streets of the old city.
Students at Khaldounia study in spaces where ancient scholars once gathered to discuss philosophy, theology, and scientific advancements.
