Hayreddin Palace in the Medina of Tunis

Built between 1860 and 1870, the Hayreddin Palace in the Medina of Tunis served as a palace before being repurposed as a justice court and eventually becoming the Museum of Tunis.

Located in the Medina of Tunis near the El Hafsia district, Hayreddin Palace is a historic building constructed between 1860 and 1870. The palace was built under the orders of Hayreddin Pasha.

In 1881, during the French occupation, the palace was sold and became a justice court. A significant portion of the structure was destroyed and replaced by an Israelite school.

Today, the building is an official monument according to a decree from 19 October 1992. It currently serves as the Museum of Tunis.
