Carthage Palace

Carthage Palace is a large complex with four main sections: the central building, private residential wings, a security facility, and administrative structures. The layout separates living spaces from work areas and safety operations.

The palace started as a private residence of Mustapha Khaznadar before serving as an Allied military location during 1943. After the war, it was transformed into the presidential residence.

Inside the palace are rooms dedicated to important Tunisian figures and a collection showing the rulers of the Husainid dynasty. These spaces reflect the country's connection to its ruling family across generations.

The palace remains heavily secured and has limited public access since it functions as an active government seat. It is best to check ahead for visiting rules and any available tour arrangements.

The palace preserves the historical table where officials signed the Treaty of Bardo in 1881. This piece of furniture stands as a tangible link to a pivotal moment in Tunisia's past.
