Dar Al Jaziri is a palace located in the medina of Tunis on Tribunal Street. Situated a few meters from Dar Lasram, it was one of the residences of the Jaziri family between the 12th and 18th centuries. The palace was listed as a historical building in 1992 and currently houses the House of Poetry.
The building has a significant history, notably housing the second Neo Destour congress in 1937. Its architecture reflects its past as a residence and a site of political and cultural gathering.
Near the palace stands the family mausoleum known as Tourbet Al Jaziri. The door of this mausoleum opens in front of Dar Lasram, marking the site's connection to the family's heritage in the city.
