Dar El Bey, Government palace in Medina, Tunis, Tunisia
The palace features sixteen white marble twisted columns with arches surrounding a central courtyard decorated with intricate architectural elements.
The palace construction began in the 17th century under Hammuda Pasha Bey of the Muradid dynasty, with additional floors added in 1795.
The interior designs of Dar El Bey display the work of artists from Tunisia, Spain, and Morocco throughout multiple decorated chambers.
Located south of Government Square and west of Kasbah Square, this palace now serves as the office for Tunisia's Head of Government.
The building contains rooms with decorated rooftops that display painted scenes using materials sourced from across North Africa.
