Palace of Kheireddine, 19th century palace in the Medina of Tunis, Tunisia.

The Palace of Kheireddine displays a mixture of traditional spatial design and European elements, with wide street-facing openings and golden decorative details.

Built between 1860 and 1870 under Minister Kheireddine Pasha's direction, the palace was later divided into two separate schools in 1905.

The building now functions as the Museum of Tunis, hosting regular art exhibitions within its restored halls and maintaining its cultural significance.

Located on Tribunal Square in the Medina, the palace provides visitors access to both permanent collections and temporary exhibitions throughout the year.

A portion of the original decor remains intact, including a salon with a cast iron fireplace and gilded moldings that reflect its former status.
