The owners of this palace came to Tunis under the Hafsid dynasty's reign.
They lived in this house during the 19th and the early 20th century.[1]
Architecture
The access to this palace is defended by a solid closed door. It is a narrow passage, covered at its beginning by a series of five vaults.[1]
The doors of the makhzen lead to a covered walkway.
The raised patio is surrounded by richly decorated apartments decorated with earthenware, stucco and marble.[1]
