Tunis is the most populous city and the capital of Tunisia. It is also the capital of the governorate of the same name since its creation in 1956. Located in the north of the country, at the bottom of the Gulf of Tunis from which it is separated by Lake Tunis, the city extends over the coastal plain and the surrounding hills. Its historic heart is the medina, listed as a UNESCO world heritage site. The city of Tunis is built on a set of hills, culminating at forty meters above sea level and descending gently towards Lake Tunis but presenting a steep slope in the opposite direction (above the sebkha Séjoumi). These hills, which follow the slopes of Ariana and corresponding to the places called Notre-Dame de Tunis, Ras Tabia, La Rabta, La Kasbah, Montfleury and La Manoubia, have altitudes which barely exceed 50 meters.
