Dar Othman, Ottoman palace in Medina district, Tunis, Tunisia.
The palace features traditional North African architecture with detailed tile work, wooden ceilings, and multiple courtyards across its vast interior spaces.
Built in the late 16th century for Othman Dey, Governor of Tunis from 1593 to 1610, this palace reflects Ottoman, Andalusian, and Tunisian architectural styles.
The palace interior contains decorated rooms that demonstrate the refined lifestyle of Tunisian aristocracy through centuries of social evolution.
Located at 16 Rue El Mebazaâ, the palace stands within walking distance of the Zitouna Mosque and several traditional markets in the Medina.
The palace includes an interior garden from 1936, though current regulations restrict public access to most of the building's internal areas.
