Palais du Bardo, National Museum in Tunis, Tunisia.
The Palais du Bardo contains extensive collections of Roman mosaics, marble statues, and archaeological artifacts from multiple Mediterranean civilizations across centuries.
The structure began as a Hafsid dynasty pleasure palace before Hammûda Pacha Bey purchased it in 1643 and transformed it into the permanent residence.
The museum displays significant Islamic works, including the Blue Qur'an of Kairouan and ceramics from North Africa and Anatolia regions.
The museum offers a digital guide application in English, French, and Arabic for visitors to navigate through the extensive collections and exhibits.
Six copper-clad entrance doors with bronze fixtures mark different sections of the palace, combining Tunisian, Italian, and Hispano-Mauresque architectural elements.
