Chapelle Sainte-Monique de Carthage, Romanesque Revival chapel in Carthage, Tunisia
The Chapelle Sainte-Monique features rounded arches, decorative stone carvings, and architectural elements characteristic of late 19th-century religious buildings in North Africa.
Built in 1895 during the French protectorate, the chapel served as a religious center for Franciscan missionary sisters who established an orphanage and boarding school.
The chapel represents the intersection of French Catholic influence and Tunisian heritage, located near archaeological sites that span multiple civilizations.
The building now functions as a conference hall for the Carthage Institute of Higher Commercial Studies, accessible via the TGM railway line.
The chapel earned the nickname 'Moniquettes' due to its connection to Saint Monica's Tears, referencing the original residence of the first religious sisters.
