House of Ibn Khaldoun

In Tunis, specifically in the area known as the "Soil Bay approach", the house in which Ibn Khaldun was born and brought up is still standing, as are the writers close to him, where his reign was beginning with science. The house, built in the eighth century AH (fourteenth century CE), is still standing and standing: a two-storey antique house. It is distinguished by its Arab Islamic and Andalusian character, like the rest of its antique homes, in terms of construction and decoration. Its destination opens to the east, with its tall rectangular door with two roses in two large rings. Renovated in Andalusian style, unlike the original door which consisted of one sash. It is surrounded by a carved marble frame that prevents it from the thick outer stone walls to block the house from the outer space as a whole the Arab floor. We entered the first shed across a marble sill. On our left we found a door that we opened, so if behind it a long staircase decorated with walls leads to the upper floor and the second door refers to a second shed and then a third. We cut three square marble slabs of zigzag overlays to reach the center of the house. And sheds in traditional homes can reach seven sheds in order to isolate the courtyard from curious looks, noise and all kinds of inconvenience coming from the street ... and to separate and separate the public and private spaces, especially for women, in the Arab-Islamic way. Like all traditional Arab houses, after crossing this passage, we discover a large courtyard called the courtyard of the courtyard, which is an open square space.

House which saw the birth of the father of sociology. Currently attached to the national heritage institution. The house cannot be visited, too bad for the history of Tunisia that we do not keep the memory of such a great scientist, sociologist and political scientist who served under several dynasties in Tunisia, Algeria, Morocco, Andalusia and Egypt.

A loss and something regretted how Novo Tunisia's history is in a deplorable state, unfortunately the house is neglected

Good...

Important but forgotten
