Mausoleum of Habib Bourguiba, Tunisia
The colourful cupolas and marble minarets of this mausoleum, final resting place of Monastir-born Habib Bourguiba, the first president of independent Tunisia, are certainly eye-catching, and the octagonal marble hall containing his sarcophagus is impressive, too.
Next to the hall are tombs of the family and a small display of his personal items. A small staircase on the southern side of the building leads to a 1st-floor interior balcony from where you can appreciate the ostentatious extravagance of the interior.
