Description
This broadcast illustrates the Sidi Bou Saïd Lighthouse, nestled on the heights of the famous village of the same name, overlooking the Gulf of Tunis. Integrated into a green environment and surrounded by buildings with an Arab-Andalusian aesthetic (blue moucharabiehs and white walls), this lighthouse represents the inseparable link between the protection of the coasts and the cultural influence of this classified site. The message carried by the image is that of a serene and luminous Tunisian identity, where the functionality of a signage building fades to become a poetic component of the emblematic landscape of the northern suburbs of Tunis.
