Tunisia National Day 2023
This Doodle’s Key Themes
Today’s Doodle celebrates Tunisia National Day! On this day in 1956, a treaty was signed, formally recognizing Tunisian independence and creating the Kingdom of Tunisia after lengthy negotiations with France.
To celebrate the national holiday, parades are held across the country and wreath-laying ceremonies take place to honor those who fought for the country's independence. Citizens decorate streets, cars, and buildings with the Tunisian flag and the national colors of red and white. Many people spend the day outdoors in Tunisia’s beautiful natural landscapes or visit places like the Medina of Tunis, a UNESCO World Heritage Site since 1979 that houses many monuments, palaces, and fountains.
For many people in Tunisia, the day serves as a reminder to continue the fight for democracy.
Happy National Day, Tunisia!
