メディナは、チュニスの最も古いエリアにある歴史地区で、首都のおもだった建造物があります。モスク、ハマム、スーク（商店街）、図書館、メデルサ（学校や大学の別館）、フォンドゥーク（キャラバンサライ、隊商宿）等々。
日中は、多くの人でごった返す小径をさまよい、いにしえから続く屋敷の素晴らしい門の向こうでは何が営まれているのかと、曲がり角では立ち止まって想像を
巡らせてみるのも良いでしょう。夜の帳が下りる頃には、メディナの中で「我が家」が待っているという特権階級になったような喜びに浸ることでしょう。
Diwan's street took the name of the
legislative Divan (al-dywAn al-shar'y:
was parliament and law court) the entrance of the central part of which
is always at the top of the street.
Reminds
only the central part of the Divan, which shelters a public library
today, and a majestic apartment built upon it, at present private
property. Of the barracks of janissairies, adjoining and belonging to
the same complex, there is only a visible piece of waste ground on Sayda 'Ajoula's street.
The small Diwan's street also includes a Moorish bath (Hammam al-dywAn), the entrance of which is situated in the Mountain's st. (this bath, built in 13th century, is today the last one in town to be warmed in the wood, the boiler room is on the street of the Diwan); and a mausoleum of Sidi Abdelqader, transformed into a cultural center
