Next up a visit to La Goulette, where Jews lived alongside Muslim & Christian neighbours. An association has recently been set up to commemorate the Sicilian heritage of La Goulette (Piccola Sicilia). We visited the brand new sculpture unveiled by Sicilian artist Girolamo Palmizi

25 Tunisian tour guides are visiting a number of important sites related to the history of the Jews of Tunisia. First up is the necropolis of Gammarth. This 4th century burial ground, containing the remains of c. 3000 Jews, was only discovered in the 19th century 🇹🇳
