Kairouan, Tunisia postcard

Worth $5-$15 · asking-price comps, October 2026

In 1966, Tunisia was in the early years of independence under President Habib Bourguiba, who had come to power in 1956 and was pursuing a modernizing, secular national agenda that reshaped Tunisian society and its relationship with its Islamic heritage. Kairouan, long revered as one of the holiest cities in Islam and a symbol of Arab civilization in North Africa, occupied a complex symbolic position in this new republic — honored as a cultural monument yet navigated carefully within Bourguiba's modernizing reforms.
