DescriptionHabib Bourguiba's Mausoleum in Monastir, Tunisia.jpg
English: The Bourguiba Mausoleum sits on the northern edge of Monastir cemetery. Its opulent splendour, topped with a golden dome, is a tribute to Tunisia's first president, Habib Bourguiba after independence from the French. Built in 1963, this burial mosque holds the bodies of the ex-President as well as his family. Two 25 m slender minarets are made of Italian marble, while the facade is covered with beautifully delicate tiling work. The tomb of Bourguiba itself sits amid a dazzling interior of glass-inlay and underneath a spectacular chandelier.
