The Tourbet el Bey (Arabic: تربة الباي) is a Tunisian royal mausoleum in the southwest of the medina of Tunis.[1]
It is the last resting place of most of the Husainid dynasty rulers of Tunisia. Among those not buried there are the last two - Moncef Bey, who is buried in the Jellaz Cemetery and Lamine Bey who is buried in La Marsa. The building, constructed in the reign of Ali II ibn Hussein (1759-1782)[2][3] is the largest funerary monument in Tunis.[4] The first tourba of Al-Husayn I ibn Ali stands opposite it.
