Zaouia of Sidi Kacem El Jellizi, Religious sanctuary and ceramics museum in Medina, Tunisia
The mausoleum features a pyramidal dome covered with green tiles, stone arches, white marble columns, and porticos extending across the courtyard.
Constructed in 1495, the sanctuary underwent two expansions, first adding a courtyard in the 17th century and then a prayer room during Al-Husayn I ibn Ali's reign.
The site preserves the legacy of Sidi Kacem El Jellizi, an Andalusian craftsman who specialized in zellige manufacturing and provided refuge to traders and travelers.
The National Center of Ceramics, established within the mausoleum in 1992, opens daily from 9:00 AM to 3:00 PM and can be reached at 71 572 423.
The museum displays a collection of Ottoman blue earthenware, Islamic funerary steles, and Hafsid ceramics from Raqqada within its 2,700-square-meter space.
