Youssef Saheb Ettabaâ ordered this palace to be built at the beginning of the 19th century.[1]
In the same period, the whole Halfaouine district witnessed many modifications: A new mosque (Saheb Ettabaâ Mosque), two madrasas, a hammam, souk Jedid, a fountain (sabil), a mausoleum (Tourba) and a foundouk were built there.[2]
Architecture
The palace can be found at the entrance of Souk Jedid. It has 3 floors: The ground floor was used for the stables and warehouses while the two remaining floors were for the private apartments and salons.[3]

gollark: > First of all, we need to emphasize that the Pi Node software has not been released yet. So this section is offered more as an architectural design and as a request to solicit comments from the technical community. This software will be fully open source and it will also heavily depend on stellar-core which is also open source software, available here. This means that anyone in the community will be able to read, comment and propose improvements on it. Below are the Pi proposed changes to SCP to enable mining by individual devices. !!!
