Close to Place de l'Indépendance is the beautiful Romanesque-Byzantine and Moorish Catholic Cathedral of Saint-Vincent-de-Paul. Built over a former Christian cemetery, it bears the name of the founder of the Lazaristes, who was sold into slavery in Tunis in the 17th century while still a young priest. Built in several phases between 1893 and 1897, it was renovated at the end of the 20th century. The building welcomed a visit from Pope John Paul II in 1998.

Belle cathédrale
Un monument qui rappelle le passé chrétien de la ville, et bien sûr la présence française en Tunisie du temps du protectorat.

Bel édifice situé place de l'Indépendance. Richement décorée à l'extérieur comme à l'intérieur, cette cathédrale mérite le coup d'oeil, même si ce n'est pas le monument le plus impressionnant de la capitale.

Cette cathédrale centrale porte le nom du fondateur des Lazaristes et des Filles de la Charité vendu comme esclave à Tunis au début du XVIIe siècle alors qu'il était encore jeune prêtre. Construite en plusieurs phases ( 1893 - 1897) et rénovée à la fin des années 1990 : pas "terrible" , je ne ferais plus un détour pour la visiter !
