Bourguiba's mausoleum  As seen from the ribat: First the cemetary of the 12th century holy Sidi el Maziri, with his tomb to the left. Around him, hundreds of Muslim graves are found. And behind this, the fenced in mausoleum.
Bourguiba died in 2000, and was buried here. Before him, his parents and his wife had both been lain to ground under one of the 2 green domes.The mausoleum was started to be built in 1963, and has many similarities to the typical mosque and holy man's tomb (zawiyya). In addition to the 3 domes (2 green and one gilded), there are 2 minarets marking the entrance to the complex.
