Dar El Kous, Religious site in El Kef, Tunisia.
The Saint-Pierre Basilica stands with a central nave measuring 39 meters long and 15 meters wide, featuring double rows of column bases along its sides.
The basilica dates from the 5th century and served as an active place of worship during the French protectorate period until its closure in 1964.
Archaeological excavations uncovered 24 tombs beneath the basilica floor, containing geometric mosaics that represented early Christian art and burial practices.
The structure maintains its original entrance through the narthex section, with walls constructed from cut stone and multiple doorway access points.
The dedication to Saint Peter remains visible on the keystone of the apse, documented by researcher Paul Gauckler in 1897.
