DAR EL BEY

This palace was built at the end of the 18th century by the Husseinite bey, on the site of another princely palace from the Mouradite period. The richness of its interior design, the Andalusian and Byzantine influenced decoration around its patio and its luminosity are remarkable. The bey welcomed his distinguished guests there until the arrival of the French, after which the palace was used to house officials. Today, it has regained much of its lustre, since it has become the administrative residence of the Prime Minister. The palace cannot be visited.
