Bourguiba Mausoleum, Presidential mausoleum in Monastir, Tunisia
The mausoleum features a central golden dome, two green cupolas, and twin 25-meter minarets decorated with traditional Tunisian ornaments and marble details.
Construction of the mausoleum began in 1963 under architect Olivier-Clément Cacoub and opened in 1978 to house the remains of President Habib Bourguiba.
The monument contains inscriptions in Arabic on its main door recognizing Bourguiba's role in establishing modern Tunisia and the independence movement.
The mausoleum includes a small museum displaying personal items of President Bourguiba, including his desk, passports, clothing, and numerous photographs.
The 200-meter-long marble pathway leads to three distinct halls containing the tombs of Bourguiba, his first wife Mathilde, and multiple family members.
