Church of Sainte-Croix of Tunis, Roman Catholic church in Medina, Tunisia
The Church of Sainte-Croix features neoclassical architecture and stands within the historic Medina district of Tunis at an elevation of 7 meters.
Built in 1837, this church marked the first Christian chapel in Tunis since the disappearance of Christian communities in the eleventh century.
The building now functions as a center for crafts and applied arts, reflecting the transformation of religious structures for modern cultural purposes.
Visitors can access the church through narrow alleys leading to Rue de la Commission, with the best views available from nearby rooftops.
The church was constructed without external religious symbols and later decorated with sixty statues representing French, Sicilian, and Maltese saints.
