Testour is a small town located in the North West Tunisian governorate of Beja and situated on the hills of the Medjerda Valley. The population of Testour is famous for its Andalusian origin. The modern town occupies the site of the Roman settlement Tichilla which was granted to Andalusian refugees in 1609.
As for the town’s tourist attractions, the main one is the Great Mosque built in Andalusian style in the 17th century.
Furthermore, Testour hosts a yearly international festival of mālūf (traditional Maghrebi music of Andalusian origin). The Andalusian roots of the inhabitants are also reflected in the lexis of the dialect of Testour, namely in some Andalusian Spanish loanwords.
