Dar Ben Abdallah, Palace and museum in Medina, Tunisia.
The two-story palace features traditional Islamic architecture with carved wooden doors, ornate plasterwork, and a central courtyard surrounded by galleries.
Mohamed El Bradaï El Ksontini constructed this residence in 1796, which later became the property of silk merchant Mohamed Tahar Ben Abdallah.
The museum exhibits display traditional Tunisian family customs, including marriage ceremonies, fashion, music instruments, and domestic life from past centuries.
Guided tours through the museum last approximately 90 minutes and include detailed explanations of the architectural elements and historical artifacts.
