Ali Bey

This mausoleum was built by the ruler Ali Bey II (1758 - 1782), first prince Husseinite to be buried there.
With the exception of the first two kings of the dynasty, Mohamed Hussein Ben Ali and Ar-Rashid, buried at Sidi Kacem tourba Sebabti, adjoining Jemaa Jadid, and the last two, and Mohamed Al Moncef Mohamed Lamine first buried respectively Az-Zallaj cemeteries and Marsa, all other Beys, princes and princesses as well as a select few ministers, are buried in this tourba.

The monument, considered the most important shrines of the city of Tunis, consists of a complex series of rooms and are divided over where the tourbas. The last room, which contains tourbas of "Pasha" (kings who ruled), is the most luxurious. It is built on the model of the Sultan Ahmed Mosque in Istanbul.

The exterior walls are built inconsistently, we meet all Mediterranean styles of the time. This tourba was opened to the public after its restoration in 1992.
