\nThe charming town of Testour, nestled within the Beja Governorate, in northern Tunisia, boasts a peculiar sight: a clock that runs counterclockwise.<\/p>\n

Located in the heart of the town’s Great Mosque, this unique timepiece has baffled locals and visitors alike for centuries.<\/p>\n

The town’s inhabitants, descendants of Spanish immigrants who converted to Islam, have a fascinating history. Their mosque, adorned with this enigmatic clock, stands as a testament to their cultural heritage.<\/p>\n

The reason for the clock’s unusual behavior remains a subject of speculation. Some locals believe it may be a deliberate choice, with a cultural or religious significance.<\/p>\n

The clock’s origins can be traced back to the 17th century when it was installed by Mohammed Tagharinu, an Andalusian immigrant. After falling into disrepair, the clock was restored in recent years by Abdel Halim Koundi, a Tunisian engineer whose ancestors were among the Andalusian families who sought refuge in Testour.<\/p>\n

Driven by a passion for preserving cul
\ntural heritage, Koundi undertook the challenging task of reviving the clock. His efforts have not only restored a piece of history but have also sparked renewed interest in the town’s unique past.<\/p>\n
