Mausoleum of Sidi Ali Azouz, Religious mausoleum in Medina of Tunis, Tunisia.

The Mausoleum of Sidi Ali Azouz features traditional Islamic architectural elements within the ancient walls of the Medina, displaying intricate geometric patterns and designs.

The structure, built in the 19th century for the Azouzia brotherhood, received official monument status in 1922 and later gained UNESCO World Heritage recognition.

This zawiya serves as a center for spiritual education and gatherings of Sufi followers, maintaining the traditions of Islamic scholarship in Tunisia.

The mausoleum stands on Rue Sidi Ali Azouz, accessible through the narrow streets of the Medina, where visitors should dress modestly and respect prayer times.

Local pilgrims continue the centuries-old practice of seeking guidance at this site, making it an active place of worship rather than just a monument.
