Labor unions had called for a general strike, so people were out in force.
Most of the protesters are demanding that the government resign and allow for new elections.
Hundreds more came out in support of the government.
The counter protests led to clashes, where at least one was killed and seventeen injured.
Many people believe that the Islamist Ennahda party, which controls most of the government, was behind the killing.
Forty-two members of the opposition resigned from parliament, in protest of the killing.
They are also demanding that a new government be formed.
