THE MINARET OF THE GREAT MOSQUE: TUNIS 



The Mosque of the Olive Tree, founded in 698, is the chief mosque of the city. One of 

 its most attractive features is the handsome minaret of interlaced brickwork shown in the 

 picture. ^ Attached to the mosque is a Moslem university, where about 1,000 youths receive 

 instruction in the Koran and other branches of orthodox learning (see pages 61-62).
