  Tilouan School is an historical landmark, considered one of the most important archaeological sites in Libya. It is represented by the printing of the building's image on the Libyan twenty-dinar banknote and its appearance on postal stamps and in the broadcasts of most Libyan and international satellite channels. The site is frequented by all visitors and tourists who visit the city of Ghadames, and they are keen to take souvenir photos with the building. Tilouan School is one of the first educational schools in the city of Ghadames: It was dedicated to Turkish rulers during the Ottoman rule until 1845. Then, it was transformed by the locals into a school for teaching the Holy Quran. The French administration used the building of Tilouan School as a warehouse and residence for the French administrators who carried out administrative tasks. In 1953, the building of Tilouan School was used to establish the first official primary school in Ghadames. It underwent maintenance work by the United Nations Development Program project and the Ghadames Development and Improvement Agency in 2001. In 2001-2002, the Ghadames Development and Improvement Agency completed the restoration and maintenance of the building, which included roof protection and interior wall treatment, preserving the traditional architectural style. In 2008, the landmark was included in the Libyan Cultural Heritage Documentation Project. The Ghadames Development and Improvement Agency completed a maintenance and restoration project for the landmark to make it a prominent destination for cultural, media, and heritage services in Ghadames. From 2015-2021, the agency oversees the documentation of information and the opening of halls under the supervision of the Ghadames Development and Improvement Agency.
